This is all to say that Napoli away has been a challenge for even the best Liverpool squads of a generation, a mark which the current squad appear to be falling well short of. Napoli has not been happy hunting grounds for the Reds, indeed Liverpool have yet to record a single goal there, recording two defeats and a draw in three appearances since 2010. Liverpool start their Champions League campaign tonight with arguably their most difficult match.

Napoli vs Liverpool promises to be a mouthwatering clash as UEFA Champions League Group A begins with a bang at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Jurgen Klopp still has to contend with plenty of injuries but at least Thiago Alcanatara is back in training which is a huge boost. The Champions League seems to always get the best out of them, though, as Liverpool have reached the final in three of the last six seasons, winning the competition once. These two teams have met regularly in the Champions League over the last few season and Napoli always seem to cause Liverpool plenty of problems. Losing Koulibaly, Insigne and Mertens was particularly tough as that trio were part of the furniture and had become legendary figures at the Italian club. Spaletti’s side have started the Serie A season in decent form given all of the changes over the summer as they sit second in the table with three wins and two draws from their opening five games. But they have lost twice and drawn once in their four meetings with Napoli in the Champions League (the 2018-19 and 2019-20 group stages) and have lost on both of their previous trips to Naples without scoring a goal.

Liverpool have stumped up €4.5 million in loan fees and will have the option to sign him for €37.5 million at the end of the season. That's a terrible effort from Alisson, coming out and failing to get the ball. Was not a great penalty from Osimhen, and the Brazilian keeper was more than equal to it. Napoli finally get the second and Liverpool are stunned. The rebound fell to a Di Lorenzo, but his effort flies miles over the bar. Lovely lay off by Elliott to TAA, who puts his foot right through it from out right, alas for him there is a defenders peg in the way and the ball ricochets to safety. This time Van Dijk gets on the end of a cross but Meret is there to deny him. The Napoli defender is forced to bring the Liverpool man down and goes into the book. Kvaratskhelia goes in a massive run up the left wing, but as he heads into the box he runs out of juice and ideas. Simeone and Lozano get in behind the defence and if they'd worked out a cunning plan to get the ball towards the goal between them probably should have scored. Instead they get into a muddle and Lozano ends up skelping the ball towards the goal from distance. Very little movement and when he did have the ball he did little with it.
