NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) - Real Madrid are set to play one of the best teams in Italy in what promises to be their toughest group stage game, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday ahead of their Champions League clash.

LaLiga leaders Real began their quest for a record-extending 15th European Cup with a last-gasp 1-0 home victory over Union Berlin last month, while Italian champions Napoli, who are currently third in Serie A, won 2-1 at Sporting Braga.
