The Naples It is a club with a long history. The feats he accomplished Diego Armando Maradona in the Southern Italian team are indelible in world football. However, the Champions League has not been an area of great achievements for the Neapolitan club, who even with Maradona at his best managed to get very far in this tournament played in few editions.

For this victory achieved by Napoli against Liverpool for the start of the 2022-2023 edition of the Champions League is qualified as historical: one defeated 4-1 in the stadium that bears his name Ten against the English, one of the strongest teams in the world today.

It’s not the biggest win in Napoli’s history in the Champions League: this record remains for the 4-0 achieved against Genk in Italy in the 2019-2020 edition. Nor is it the first win against Liverpool, whom he had already beaten 1-0 in 2018 and 2-0 in 2019, or against an English club (he also beat Arsenal 2-0 in 2014). But it is a victory with a huge impact for those led by Luciano Spalletti.

The start of the game, with a penalty for Napoli converted by Piotr Zielinski for a goal after 5 minutesquickly showed the defensive problems Liverpool were going to have throughout the Italian night.

At 17 minutes there was another penalty, taken by Viktor Osinem but saved by Alisson. The Brazilian couldn’t do anything with his shots Andre Zambo Anguisa at 31 minutes, Giovanni Simeon at 44 minutes and Zielinski again at 47 minutes. In no time, Liverpool experienced one of the weakest displays of the Jurgen Klopp era, perhaps the worst at European level.

Discount Colombian Luis Díaz for the English in the 49th minute, but there was little more to it in a game in which Napoli’s quick attacks hit a very weak Liverpool midfield and unopposed in defence.

Did you name Germany? Kroos surprised by choice of World Cup favorite

Former star of Real Madrid and the German national team Toni Kroos He determined the favorites of the World Cup and evaluated the chances of Brazil and Germany:

“World Cup? The main favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I’m not talking about Brazil, but it could happen. It’s good that a large number of teams are participating, but I am now against increasing the number of participants. We need to protect the players and the quality of the tournament. With more teams there will be obvious scores and these are not the kind of matches that fans want to see. Quality matches are important for me, not 5:0 or 6:0. Players come to the tournament tired and play more matches, the level drops a little.

Is Ancelotti in Brazil? He could have left a year ago, but he stayed at Real Madrid. I talked to him throughout the summer and wished him luck. He really wanted to coach Brazil, I hope everything goes well for him. Brazil has top-level players like Vini with valuable experience.

Neymar? The important thing is when it is 100%. He may experience a lack of rhythm in the game due to the injuries he has experienced in recent years. Now he’s injured again, he only has 6 months left. If he is fit he can help any team in the world.

Team Germany? I think Germany is always among the favorites, but not among the main ones. “I’m sure they will at least reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but the level is a little lower, although everything is possible in football,” he said.
