Former Real Madrid coach, Fabio Capello says Napoli can beat the Los Blancos when both teams’ clash in today’s UEFA Champions League tie.

Speaking with Il Mattino, Capello also singled out Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham for praise, saying the duo are above other players.

“I saw a good team, especially against Udinese and Lecce. The start was not exciting, but there was a lack of fluidity. We have to give the new coach time. Tomorrow [Tuesday] against Real Madrid will not be easy, but in the Champions League anything is possible,” Capello said.

“I think he did well to stay in Naples. It means he wants to win important trophies and to do so he has to stay here.

“This Napoli is still under construction. Real Madrid is history. If you win, you have fulfilled your duty, if not, you have done nothing. There they do not know what satisfaction is. There are two players who are above the others: Vinicius and Bellingham.

“Unfortunately for Napoli, the Brazilian is available again and will be one of the biggest dangers for Napoli’s defence.”
