Ancelotti Cautious of ‘Complete Striker’ Osimhen Ahead of Real Madrid Clash

Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti hails Victor Osimhen as a ‘Complete Striker’, TalkFooty Reports.

Real Madrid is scheduled to meet Napoli in a UEFA Champions League match on matchday five at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu this Wednesday.

Despite Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory over the Serie A champions in Naples in September, Osimhen was unable to find the net on that occasion.

Nevertheless, Ancelotti emphasized the need for his players to be cautious of Osimhen’s threat, acknowledging the forward’s prowess in one-on-one situations, aerial duels, and transitions.

“Kvara is formidable one-on-one; Osimhen is a complete attacker, very strong with his head and in transitions,” Ancelotti shared with Napoli Magazine. “We took all this into account in the first leg, and we will try to consider it again tomorrow.”

The 24-year-old showcased his goal-scoring abilities in the Champions League last season, netting five goals in six appearances for the Partenopei. Napoli is in need of a victory in the upcoming game to secure a spot in the Round of 16.
