Liverpool never really looked like topping their Champions League group on Tuesday night.
Needing to win by four clear goals against a Napoli side who thumped them 4-1 less than two months ago, and were unbeaten across all competitions having won five from five in the group beforehand, was an uphill task from the off. And despite a rousing final 10 minutes in which Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez poked home close-range finishes, the thought of leapfrogging the Italian outfit to top Group A never fully materialised.
And so the Reds finished second, securing their place in Monday's round-of-16 draw with the daunting prospect of facing the continent's footballing giants. Jurgen Klopp's side cannot face domestic opponents in Manchester City, Chelsea or Tottenham, nor can they face Group A rivals Napoli. That leaves Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Porto.
