Jude Bellingham scored and set up another as Real Madrid beat Napoli 3-2 in the Champions League group stages on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Madrid midfielder intercepted a pass from Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo before setting up Vinicius Junior for an equaliser at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium after Leo Ositgard put Napoli ahead.<\/p>\n

The England international then slalomed through Napoli’s defence from around midfield to score his eighth goal in nine appearances since signing for Real Madrid in the summer.<\/p>\n

“What surprises me is that he’s only 20 years old,” said Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti. “He has extraordinary qualities and he’s showing how much talent he has.”<\/p>\n

Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski scored a controversial penalty after the break to make it 2-2. There was a long VAR review following a sliding tackle by Nacho on Victor Osimhen, as the ball appeared to first hit the defender’s shin and then his arm.<\/p>\n

But Real, the 14-time winners of the competition, sit top of Group C with six points after a powerful deflected strike from Federico Valverde hit the crossbar and rebounded in off Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Thomas Muller came off the bench to set up the winning goal for fellow substitute Mathys Tel in Bayern Munich’s 2-1 comeback win over Denmark’s FC Copenhagen to put the German champions on top in Group A.<\/p>\n

With his side struggling to create against the Danish champions, the 34-year-old Muller entered the game in the 77th minute and used his vast experience to first outrun the defence and then out-muscle it before teeing up Tel to take all three points.<\/p>\n

The home side had taken a shock lead in the 56th minute when Bayern failed to clear Viktor Claesson’s shot, and midfielder Lukas Lerager followed up with a clever bouncing drive to put the Danish champions in the driving seat.<\/p>\n

Bayern struck back in the 67th minute as Jamal Musiala jinked left and right on the edge of the area before dispatching a low shot into the corner of the net beyond the dive of Kamil Grabara before Tel’s goal sealed the win.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen substitute Jordan Larsson almost snatched a point for his side in the fifth minute of stoppage time as his header was steered goalwards by Eric Choupo-Moting, but Sven Ulreich pulled off a tremendous diving save to keep the lead intact.<\/p>\n

The victory left Bayern top of the group on six points, two ahead of Galatasaray, who beat Manchester United 3-2 at Old Trafford to leave United bottom.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
