Napoli lost the Champions League Group Group Stage against Real Madrid on Tuesday 3 October 2023 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. The fans, despite the defeat, ends with Maradona’s applause, as they emerge defeated but with their heads held high against Real Madrid.

In the second half, Piotr Zielinski brings his team back to the 2-2 penalty awarded due to a touch from Nacho’s hand, but in the final comes Valverde’s shot which triggers Alex Meret’s unfortunate own goal.
