Real Madrid vs Napoli, Live Score and Commentary, UEFA Champions League 2016/17

Job done for Real Madrid, as they responded well to going a goal down after Lorenzo Insigne gave Napoli the lead. Benzema restored parity in the first half, before Real tore into the visitors in the second half as Kroos and Casemiro give Real a promising lead to take to the second leg at the Stadio San Paolo.

FT: Real Madrid 3-1 Napoli

90+2' ALMOST! Koulibaly is caught out yet again, with Lucas Vazquez pouncing on the ball from his poor pass. Raul Albiol comes across to bail his partner out, and spare Napoli the blushes.

90' 3 minutes of added time.

88' Not much happening as Real Madrid have effectively killed off the game, taking their time with free kicks and passing he ball around in midfield.

85' OH WHAT A CHANCE! Real should really have put this tie to bed. Koulibaly loses the ball to Morata, who drives down the right wing and finds Ronaldo in the box. The Portuguese superstar does superbly to reverse the ball to Marcelo on the overlap and with the goal at his mercy, his shot goes inches wide of the far post.

84' Arkadiusz Milik makes his long awaited return, coming on to replace Marek Hamsik

83' CLOSE! Kroos goes short from a right wing corner, cutting it to Modric on the edge of the box, with the Croat's strike going narrowly over the bar.

82' Alvaro Morata comes on to replace Karim Benzema

81' GOAAA.... NOO! Jose Callejon turns the ball in from an offside position from Insigne's header.

79'Jose Callejon is tripped on the counter by Casemiro, but he escapes a booking.

76' James Rodriguez gets applauded as he comes off to be replaced by Lucas Vazquez

76' Mertens goes into the book for a late challenge on Casemiro

75' Zielinski goes off to be replaced by Allan

73' GREAT SAVE! Toni Kroos produces a lovely reverse pass to find James making an intelligent run into the box. The Colombian takes a first time shot with his left foot on the turn, but Reina sticks out an arm to deny a certain goal.

73' Lucas Vazquez and Iscao are warming up on the touchline - will Zidane offer them a chance too?

71' Sergio Ramos gets a standing ovation as he comes off to be replaced by Pepe. He seems to have picked up a slight knock.

70' Good keeping! James sends in a peach of a cross from the right to Benzema at the far post, but Reina comes out to make an important claim. As Napoli counter, Insigne sends Mertens through on the left side of the box, but Navas is out smartly to deny the Belgian from a narrow angle.

68' OH WHAT A CHANCE! Diawara chips an incredible diagonal to Callejon on the right side of the box. The Spaniard intelligently lays it off to Mertens in the box, and with the goal at his mercy, Mertens blazes his effort narrowly over the bar.

66' HOW DID HE MISS? Bread and butter for Ronaldo that! Benzema makes a mug of Hysaj on the wing and sends a low cross to Ronaldo in the box. The Portuguese star is in space and opts for a first time shot, but cannot even get it on target, blazing his strike well over.

64' SHOT! Koulibaly clears Ronaldo's cross to Marcelo on the edge of the box. He hammers a powerful volley aimed at the top corner, but it seems like that's something only Casemiro can do...

62' POOR! Ghoulam goes for a direct free-kick with his left foot, but the Algerian overhits his strike, going well over the top corner.

61' Marcelo goes through the back of Callejon's knee and gives away a cheap free kick about 25 yards from goal. Mertens and Ghoulam step up to take the set-piece.

59' LUCKY! Mertens controls a long ball forward, and then heads it past Varane on the run, only for Ramos to shield the ball away from him with Mertens tugging him back and fouling him in frustration.

57' Napoli have regrouped after conceding their third, with Ghoulam sending in a tempting cross from the left to Mertens and Callejon in the box, only for Navas to intercept.

54' I DO NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! An absolute stunner from Casemiro! Albiol gets a block in the box, with the ball falling to Casemiro on the edge of the box. He hammers a first-time volley into the top corner, leaving Reina no chance. Real Madrid 3-1 Napoli

54' GOAL CASEMIRO!!

53' SHOT! James takes the corner short, before the ball is worked to Marcelo about 30 yards from goal. The Brazilian's second effort at channeling his inner Roberto Carlos is much better, but the hammer of a strike flies over.

53' Napoli are on the ropes here, as Modric and James indulge in some swift passing down the right wing, before earning a corner. James to take.

52' Luka Modric goes into the book for catching Hamsik's ankle in a mistimed sliding tackle.

49' WHAT A WELL WORKED GOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo does superbly to get past Koulibaly on the right byline, before cutting a perfect ball back to Kroos on the edge of the box. The German responded with a pinpoint finish into the bottom corner, almost passing the ball into the net. Real Madrid 2-1 Napoli

49' GOAL TONI KROOS!!!

47' An early foul given away by Marcelo, who bumps into Hysaj. Strangely Napoli opt against putting the ball in the box. The move nearly works, as Hamsik plays Mertens through down the middle, only for him to miss collecting the pass by a matter of inches.

46' AND WE'RE OFF! Napoli get us underway in the second half, kicking off from left to right.

The teams are back out on the pitch. Kickoff in the second half is moments away - what can we expect?

Minutes to go before the second half starts - stay tuned!

HT: Real Madrid 1-1 Napoli

44' Replays show Reina did not get a touch on Benzema's shot, which cannoned off the upright and out for the corner. The Frenchman really ought to have put Real Madrid ahead there.

43' HE SHOULD SCORE! Varane has a free header in the box from the corner, but makes a mess of his header, with Reina collecting the ball.

42' OOOOOH WHAT A CHANCE! Cristiano Ronaldo bursts down the right wing and sends a superb low cross to Benzema in the box. The Frenchman tries to chip the ball over Reina, but the Spaniard gets a touch and puts it out for a corner.

40' James is livid, as is the Bernabeu crowd, when the Colombian is pulled up for offside. Replays show the linesman got it right.

39' Piotr Zielinski (that was fun to type) goes into the book for a slide tackle from behind on Casemiro.

37' Dries Mertens is a bit unhappy with the referee after being fouled by Casemiro and James off the ball as Napoli counter-attacked.

36' It's been a great first half so far, with both sides exhibiting some great attacking play. Real Madrid have had more of the ball so far, with 59% to Napoli's 41%

34' Modric attempts to thread the ball through to Carvajal running into the box. The Spaniard runs into Diawara and claims he was blocked off, but the Slovenian referee waves play on.

32' SHOT! Insigne is picked out in space on the left wing, with the Italian cutting the ball back to Hamsik in the box. The Napoli captain hammers a left foot shot towards goal, but it is well wide of the near post.

We know he can do better.

31' CLOSE! Kroos catches out Napoli with a short pass to Marcelo on the edge of the box. He lays it off to Modric, whose effort is deflected narrowly over the bar. Madrid are unable to fashion a clear cut chance from the subsequent set piece.

30' GREAT KEEPING! Reina palms a devilish cross from the right by James, with Casemiro earning a free-kick at the right byline after being shoved by Hysaj. Kroos to take...

29' Ronaldo 'earns' a free kick on the right wing after Koulibaly clipped his ankles. James to take...

28' HOW DID HE MISS! Superb interplay from Modric and Benzema, with the Croatian pinging the ball to Ronaldo in the box. The Portuguese superstar takes a good first touch, but he blazes his left-footed effort at the near post over the bar, with the goal at his mercy!
