Champions, Napoli-Liverpool 4-1: blue show and poker to the reds

Napoli overwhelms Liverpool 4-1 in the match valid for the first day of Group A of the Champions League. At the Maradona stadium, the blues dominate the match against the reds with a practically perfect performance from the first to the last minute. THE MATCH – The team coached by Spalletti immediately knocks with Osimhen, who hits the post after about forty seconds, and unlocks the result at 5 ‘. Milner deflects a shot from Zielinski: penalty, the midfielder transforms and signs the 1-0. Liverpool, cold hit, are struggling to get into the game. The hosts, dragged by Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, give the impression of being able to break through at any time against the team deployed by Klopp.Osimhen sends Van Dijk into crisis and ends up on the ground in the penalty area: Var intervention and new penalty. The Nigerian goes to the spot but Alisson rejects and saves the situation for the moment. Napoli does not stop, continues to push and hits. Anguissa asks Zielinski for an exchange, gets it and presents himself alone in front of Alisson: all too easy, 2-0 in the 31st minute. The Azzurri work wonderfully and not even the exit of Osimhen, knocked out due to a muscle injury, complicates the plans. Simeone enters and the son of art, on his debut in the Champions League, immediately stamps the card. Kvaratskhelia devours the left wing and puts a ball in the middle to push into the net: Simeone thanks, 3-0 in the 44th minute. Liverpool returns to the locker room like a boxer played and does not shake even at the start of the second half. The English defense is asleep, Zielinski slips into the very large meshes of the rearguard and kicks: Alisson remedies on the first attempt, but cannot oppose the soft tap-in which is worth 4-0 in the 47th minute. The runners-up of Europe try to raise their heads with Luis Diaz. Percussion and right turn, 4-1 at 49 ‘. Napoli collects but does not tremble: the advantage is very large, Spalletti’s team is not distracted and leads to the extraordinary and well-deserved success that is worth the first place in the group together with Ajax (4-0 to Rangers). On September 13, second day, Napoli goes to Glasgow against Rangers.
