Ancelotti speaks on fear of Osimhen

Ancelotti, whose side started with a 1-0 win over Union Berlin, is wary of the danger Osimhen poses.

"They are very good forwards who have really broken out in the last year, they have demonstrated their quality and shown they are top-level players,” Ancelotti told Real Madrid’s official website.

“They have amazing talent with different characteristics. Kvaratskhelia is very strong one-on-one and Osimhen is very dangerous.”
