Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has identified Victor Osimhen as a potent threat ahead of their clash with Napoli.
Real Madrid welcome Victor Osimhen and Napoli to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League, with qualification already secured.
Still, Los Blancos will be hoping to go through as group leaders, and avoiding defeat against a dangerous Napoli side will be ideal.
Osimhen made an instant impact on his return to action for Napoli at the weekend with an assist in the 2-1 win against Atalanta last weekend.
