by time news

London: Napoli, who were unbeaten in 21 consecutive games, knelt in front of the copper at Anfield. Liverpool defeated Italian powerhouse Napoli 2-1 in the last group match of the Champions League after being left behind in the points table with successive defeats in the Premier League. With the win, both teams have 15 points in the Group A points table, but Napoli is first in goal average. Both have already secured knockout qualification. In the 85th minute of the game, where both teams fought together without scoring a goal, Nunes scored a goal in the 85th minute of the game.

Liverpool, who won by a four-goal margin, could be the first in the group, but at no point did they completely dominate the game. Leo Ostigård looked to have given Napoli the lead in the first half with a header from a free-kick, but a lengthy ‘War’ review ruled it offside. Salah gave a valuable lead at close range with five minutes left when the game was moving to a scoreless draw. Nunes completed the list in overtime.

As usual, Liverpool’s defensive lapses and lack of rhythm in midfield seemed to set the trap against Napoli, but two goals at the crucial stage helped. The return of Ibrahima Konate along with van Dijk has solved the loopholes in the defense to some extent, which will be a relief for the team.

In the Premier League, Liverpool lost close games against the weak Nottingham Forest and Leeds United. The big fall came in the spirit of defeating Manchester City just before. The team that was close to four big crowns in the last season, and the pain of losing everything in the next year, if they are not able to get over the pain in the coming days, there will be severe fan fury waiting for the team.

The points table won’t change as they won against Napoli but not by a huge margin.

In the Premier League, the strong opponents of the Reds are Tottenham.
