Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has named Victor Osimhen as a potential threat ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against the Serie A champions on Wednesday.

The Los Blancos will welcome the Naples-based club to the Santiago Bernabeu for the return fixture of their group encounter.

The 14th-times champions defeated Napoli 2-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in the first leg.

Despite returning from injury, Osimhen was on hand with an assist in Napoli's last game against Atalanta last weekend.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Ancelotti labelled the 24-year-old Super Eagles star as the danger man his team needs to be weary of.

“Kvara is formidable one-on-one, Osimhen is a complete attacker, very strong with his head and in transitions,” Ancelotti told Napoli Magazine.

“We took all this into account in the first leg, and we will try to take it into account tomorrow too.”
