'Demolished its arrogance' - Italian media deliver vicious Liverpool verdict after Napoli hammering

Liverpool’s new campaign in the Champions League begun with a damaging 4-1 defeat to Napoli on Wednesday night.

The Reds were handed a heavy loss in Naples to begin their Group A contest with a loss at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. A brace from Piotr Zielinski supported by goals from Andre-Franck Zambo Anguissa and substitute Giovanni Simeone wrapped up the win, with Luis Diaz scoring a consolation.

Had it not been for an Alisson Becker penalty save and a clearance off the line from Virgil van Dijk, the scoreline would be much more damaging for Liverpool. They have a home clash against Ajax next in the competition next week at Anfield.
