It's still not common to see the Champions League finalist get knocked out for his entry into the competition four months later.

This is the misadventure that happened Wednesday night to the Reds, who did not see the light of day in Naples (3-0 at the break, 4-1 in the end).

In a supercharged Diego Armando Maradona stadium, Mohamed Salah's teammates took on water from all sides, with a goal from former Marseille player Zambo Anguissa (2-0, 31st).

Already left behind in the Premier League, with a surprising 7th place and only two wins in six days, Liverpool has therefore had a bad start to the season.

Given the quality of their Champions League group, also with Glasgow Rangers and especially Ajax Amsterdam (winner 4-0 on Wednesday), the Reds could have to fight to qualify for the knockout stages of the test.

Their coach Jürgen Klopp did not spare his group, Wednesday evening at the microphone of BT Sport: “We serve two goals on a set in Naples.

We were not present either defensively or offensively.

Until Thiago Alcantara came on, I don't remember seeing a single counter-press.

It's a very hard pill to swallow."


The German coach, winner of the C1 in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020, then admitted that his team had been "bad", before splitting an interesting analysis: "We have to reinvent ourselves".

Between Sadio Mané's departure this summer, Mohamed Salah's delicate start to the season (2 goals in 7 games), or the increasingly glaring defensive setbacks of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jürgen Klopp has some burning issues to settle for try to revive Reds that we had rarely seen as apathetic as in Naples.
