Kostas Tsimika’s superb record in Liverpool’s win over Napoli

Liverpool faced Napoli in the Champions League group stage final, with bruised morale and a shattered psyche after back-to-back Premier League defeats (to Nottingham Forest and Leeds), but for another European game this year it showed its heaviness accompanying metal.

And that’s because, in a 2-0 win, he handed the southern Italian side their first all-competition defeat of the season, propelling them through five straight wins in the last 16 of Europe’s top club competitions.

And Kostas Tsimikas also played a decisive role in the last one on Tuesday evening (November 1st), with the international full-back excellently covering the left side of the Reds’ defense and not only keeping the excellent players from the middle and up front partenopei at zero together with Alexander-Arnold, Konate and Van Dijk, with whom he composed a four in front of Alisson, but also to help offensively.

He was the player who led the two corners from the left to Liverpool’s goals with Salah and Nunes, while his contribution to Jurgen Klopp’s side’s success was also reflected in the overall statistics, with Czymika excelling among others for accuracy of his passes, long balls and victorious duels on the ground.
