Champions League: Napoli - Real Madrid - Ramos double sends Partenopei out
Napoli face Real Madrid tonight in what could be a historical day for Italy's Southern capital. Beaten 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu, Maurizio Sarri's men need to win by two clear goals or, were they to concede more than one, by three.
The Partenopei are coming from a very strong performance against Roma at the weekend, winning 2-1 at the Olimpico. Real, for their part, have looked shaky, losing to Valencia and needing late goals to earn points against both Las Palmas and Villareal.
Can they avoid any slip-ups against Marek Hamsik, Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and cantera product Jose Callejon?
