Napoli coach Rudi Garcia admitted frustration with Jude Bellingham's goal in defeat to Real Madrid.

Napoli lost their Champions League clash 3-2 at the Maradona last night.

On Bellingham's goal, Garcia said: That goal came during a moment when in my view we did not protect the defence. We should've had the midfielders and wingers close in, pushing them down the flanks. It is much better to let Real Madrid have the ball with Dani Carvajal or Eduard Camavinga rather than Bellingham or Valverde behind our midfielders.

It was I think more down to the team attitude that was wrong.

"When it is 1-1, we should be able to unite, stay solid and not always rush to make the high press. I think the team and the leaders on the field ought to learn how to read the various moments of the match."
