Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has revealed the tactical plan that saw Napoli’s Victor Osimhen caged in their Champions League group fixture on Tuesday night.
Osimhen was tipped to shine for the Serie A champions in the home game, after scoring in consecutive league matches.
However, facing Real Madrid proved to be a different challenge for the Super Eagles striker, as he was under constant surveillance by two defenders.
Osimhen managed to win a penalty for their second goal, but it wasn not enough as Real Madrid won 3-2.
“We wanted to be two against one with him (Osimhen), the central defenders did very well and didn’t give him any space behind them,” Ancelotti said.
He further added, “Against Osimhen, it’s difficult not to suffer, especially on aerial balls, but we did well.”
