Real Madrid won Group C in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night after beating Napoli 4-2 at the Bernabeu.

Giovanni Simeone, son of Atletico manager Diego Simeone, bundled Napoli into a ninth-minute lead but a fine strike by Rodrygo drew Madrid level almost immediately.

Jude Bellingham then headed in from a David Alaba cross to put Madrid 2-1 up in the 22nd minute.

Andre Zambo Anguissa made it 2-2 early in the second half and the score remained that way until the 84th minute when Argentine teenager Nico Paz netted his first goal for Madrid.

Nineteen-year-old substitute Paz - who was making only his fourth senior appearance collected a simple pass from Antonio Rudiger 40 yards from Napoli's goal before turning sharply and dribbling around Jens Cajuste.

Paz then hammered in a low shot from long range that burst through the hands of Napoli keeper Alex Meret.

Joselu wrapped up Madrid's victory in added time following a fabulous assist by Bellingham.

Highlights: Real Madrid 4-2 Napoli
