Real Madrid were drawing their 5th match in the Champions League against Napoli. Giovanni Simeone opened the scoring but Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham got Madrid a goal up by halftime. Just two minutes after the 2nd half started, Zambo Anguissa scored Napoli’s equalizer. Real Madrid kept searching for their 3rd goal and academy graduate Nico Paz got it for them in the 84th minute. 

Receiving the ball from Antonio Rudiger, Paz got past a man with beautiful skill and took a shot from outside the box. Alex Meret, the Napoli Keeper, managed to get a hand to the powerful strike but it wasn’t enough as the ball hit the back of the net.
