Los Blancos had secured their spot in the round of knockouts already.

Nico Paz made history on Wednesday night by scoring the game-winning goal in a thrilling 4-2 thriller at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, even though Real Madrid had little to win at home against Napoli.With Los Merengues already guaranteed a spot in the knockout stage, Napoli wanted to make sure their own continental campaign continued until Christmas and got off to the ideal start.After nine minutes, Giovanni Simeone scored the first goal after a deft ball from Giovanni Di Lorenzo to the striker inside the penalty area.Simeone’s conversion of the shot into the net stunned the Bernabeu into quiet.It was a short-lived lead, though, as Rodrygo Goes equalized almost immediately after the kickoff.After receiving the ball at the edge of the penalty area and executing a flawless first touch, the Brazilian struck the ball into the roof of the net.Jude Bellingham gave the home team the lead in the 22nd minute, continuing his stellar goal-scoring streak.The English midfielder was inside the penalty box when David Alaba sent a probing cross into the area, and he sprung brilliantly to slam a bullet header into the left side of the net.Just before the half, Brahim Diaz had a chance to make it 3-1, but his shot fizzed just wide of the left post.Nico Paz has a moment to remember: Napoli outplayed the other team early in the second half, and after just two minutes of play, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa tied the score at 2-2.The former Fulham midfield player reacted quickly to a rebound and sent a close-range shot into the upper left corner.Victor Osimhen made a cameo in the match as he continued his injury recuperation, and he believed he had put the Italian champions up 3-2. The Nigerian’s attempt was disqualified, though, for offside.After that, Jude Bellingham was denied by Alex Meret twice more, and Joselu wasted a fantastic opportunity by shooting wide from within the penalty area......It was the time of Nicolas Paz’s life. The teenage player came off the bench and unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the box that went perfectly into the net.In the fourth minute of injury time, Bellingham took the lead by feeding the ball to Joselu, who managed to gather himself and put the ball in the net.
