UCL: Ancelotti wary of Osimhen’s threat to Real Madrid ahead of Napoli clash 

By Wale Mustapha

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has warned his players to anticipate more worriers and prepare to do more than enough to curtail Victor Osimhen ahead of his side’s UEFA Champions League clash against Napoli on Wednesday.

Already qualified Los Blancos will host Napoli at Santiago Barnebeu Stadium with the aim of stretching their lead in the group.

Osimhen will be making a return to the competition after featuring in the opening two games before sustaining injury that ruled him out for long.

The Super Eagles’ forward made a significant impact over the weekend in his first match for Napoli since October providing the winning goal in his side’s 2-1 win at Atalanta.

Ancelotti described Osimhen as a complete striker, who will be a threat to his side.

“Kvara is formidable one-on-one, Osimhen is a complete attacker, very strong with his head and in transitions.

“We took all this into account in the first leg, and we will try to take it into account tomorrow too.”

A win for Napoli will confirm their qualification to the knockout stage with a game to spare.
