It wasn’t a rout like Napoli achieved routinely in last year’s group phase but the Serie A champion came away with a 2-1 victory at Braga to open its Champions League campaign. An 88th-minute own goal from Braga defender Sikou Niakate was the decider minutes after Bruma had equalized for the hosts. Niakate deflected in a cross from Piotr Zielinski. Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo scored in first-half added time. Jude Bellingham scored in stoppage time to secure a 1-0 win for 14-time champion Real Madrid over newcomer Union Berlin in the other Group C match.
