Liverpool were torn apart in Naples and could have conceded more than four on a humiliating night for Klopp and co. Here's the match report:
Napoli 4-1 Liverpool: Klopp’s sloppy side humiliated in Champions League openerLiverpool were humiliated on their return to Champions League action as outstanding Napoli ran out comprehensive 4-1 winners against Jurgen Klopp’s sloppy side.
But Liverpool wilted rather than rallied at the cavernous, creaking Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where ex-Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and substitute Giovanni Simeone struck before half-time. Only 41 seconds were on the clock when Osimhen raced behind and rounded Alisson to hit the post from an acute angle. It was a warning shot that the Reds failed to heed.
Trent Alexander-Arnold saw an effort saved and Mohamed Salah wasted a fine opportunity as Liverpool briefly improved, before Van Dijk was forced into a fantastic clearance after Osimhen crossed for Kvaratskhelia.
