WATCH: Casemiro's volley leaves Napoli goalkeeper helpless

Casemiro showed the world how to hit a volley after Real Madrid fell behind early against Napoli in the Champions League.

The Real Madrid defensive midfielder gave his side a 3-1 lead over Napoli in the first leg of their round of 16 encounter, scoring from outside the box.

The ball sat up nicely for Casemiro, and he hit home a scandalous half volley, leaving Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina with absolutely no hope of saving it .

The game started with a bang as Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne caught Madrid 'keeper Keylor Navas out with his long-range opener.

But Madrid hit back with a vengeance when Dani Carvajal's impressive cross found Karim Benzema at the back post to head in, and then Cristiano Ronaldo's neat ball across the byline was well finished by Toni Kroos.
