Napoli defeated Premier League giants Liverpool 4-1 in a Champions League fixture played on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.
This was the first Champions League fixture for Liverpool since they lost 1-0 in Paris to eventual champions Real Madrid in the final last season.
It was a fast start by Napoli as Piotr Zieliński converted a penalty in the fifth minute.
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen missed a penalty, but André-Frank Zambo Anguissa converted a ball from Zieliński to put Napoli two goals up.
Osimhen was a substitute and was taken off for Giovanni Simeone who scored the third from a ball by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Napoli went to the halftime break with a three-goal cushion and did not let off in the second period.
Zieliński put Napoli four goals up but Luis Diaz converted a ball by Andy Robertson to pull one back for Liverpool.
No goals were added as Napoli started their Champions League campaign with a convincing victory while Liverpool's title credentials are in question.
