Sleepless in Naples. Starring: Jurgen Klopp. Shooting location: Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.Liverpool gaffer is probably facing the terrifying hours of his spell at Anfield Road after a shambolic performance of his team, which ended in a disgraceful 4-1 defeat to Napoli!The Champions League runners-up were battered by a much better rival and brushed aside within 45 minutes.Meanwhile, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool are losing 4-1 to Napoli.Really not a good day for German coaches 🫤#UCL #NAPLFC pic.twitter.com/A7prtIAdPk— DW Sports (@dw_sports) September 7, 2022 Inspired Southerners – led by unplayable Andre Zambo Anguissa and tiresome Victor Osimhen – stormed to victory almost straight from the kick-off. The latter hit the post instantly, before Zielinski put the hosts in front after a deserved penalty following Milner’s handball in the box.🇳🇬 🤕 Victor Osimhen came off in the 43rd minute with an injury after terrorising the Liverpool defenceThough he missed the penalty he won, he hit the post within the first 3 minutes of the game and was arguably the best player on the pitch before leavingBe back soon King 👑 pic.twitter.com/M7GeYKE44X— Football Fans Tribe 🇳🇬 ⚽ (@FansTribeHQ) September 7, 2022 Osimhen was taken down by Van Dijk 16 minutes into the game, but the Nigerian was not accurate from the spot afterwards as Alisson saved his shot.Not only did it not stop Liverpool’s road to disgrace, but the Reds’ humiliation had just begun in front of ecstatic home fans. Zambo Anguissa and Zielinski played a perfect one-two in front of bewildered Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold and VVD, and the Cameroonian midfielder netted superbly to double the lead well before the half-time break.Beautiful give and go between Anguissa and Zielinski. A wonderful goal by Napoli. 🔥🔥#NAPLIV pic.twitter.com/war0MkWidQ— Jerry Mancini (@jmancini8) September 7, 2022 Klopp’s boys were on their knees, yet it was still far from over. Diego Simeone’s son, Giovanni, scored from a tap-in only three minutes after coming in for injured Osimhen for a total breakdown of the favourites in prospect.When Giovanni Simeone was 13, he got a tattoo of the UEFA Champions League logo stating it was his dream to play in the competition.He now achieves his dream by scoring his first-ever goal for Napoli in his first-ever game in the #UCL. A dream come true for Cholito 🇦🇷 pic.twitter.com/YQHcbSqSRg— Roberto Rojas (@RobertoRojas97) September 7, 2022 The German gaffer – who’s probably close to being sacked like never before – tried shaking his torrid side during the break. However, instead of a quick riposte, they saw another one in their own net as soon as the second half started. Zielinski sealed his brace like an experienced poacher to open the doors of the inferno for the guests.That’s that, Kvaratskhelia toying with the best RB in the world?A perfect set-up for Simeone to score Napoli’s 3rd.🔥🔥🔥pic.twitter.com/hYmLVNmnv3— Georgian Footy (@GeorgianFooty) September 7, 2022 There was no way back from that point for Liverpool, but it didn’t stop the only good in red shirt tonight – Luis Diaz – from finding the back of the net on the other end just two minutes later.And that was it.▪️ Thrashed 4-1 by Napoli ▪️Two wins in seven games this season ▪️ Seventh in the league It’s been a nightmare start for Liverpool 👻 pic.twitter.com/HpBArkDNwA— B/R Football (@brfootball) September 7, 2022 A bit unexpectedly, the game’s tempo slowed down. Napoli were euphoric for a three-goal lead and probably a tad scared they’d recreate that notorious 2005 Champions League final, when Liverpool came back against AC Milan after being three goals down at half-time.The same player, Diaz, was close to scoring, but Napoli’s keeper reacted astonishingly to keep the Reds away from any possible miracle.The next couple of days, if not hours, will be especially disturbing for the much-loved Klopp, who’s close to joining his compatriot Thomas Tuchel on the list of jobless coaches after the UCL humiliations.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 1Tuesday Dinamo Zagreb – Chelsea 1-0 (1-0)/Orsic 13/Dortmund – Copenhagen 3-0 (2-0)/Reus 35, Guerreiro 42, Bellingham 83/Salzburg – Milan 1-1 (1-0)/Saelemaekers 40 – Okafor 28/Celtic – Real Madrid 0-3 (0-0)/Junior 56, Modric 60, Hazard 77/RB Leipzig – Shakhtar 1-4 (0-1)/Simakan 57 – Shved 16, 58, Mydruk 76, Traore 85/Sevilla – Man City 0-4 (0-1)/Haaland 20, 67, Foden 58, Dias 90+2/Benfica – Maccabi Haifa 2-0 (0-0)/Silva 49, Grimaldo 54/PSG – Juventus 2-1 (2-0)/Mbappe 5, 22 – McKennie 53/Wednesday Ajax – Rangers 4-0 (3-0)/Alvarez 17, Berghuis 32, Kudus 33, Bergwijn 80/Eintracht Frankfurt – Sporting CP 0-3 (0-0)/Edwards 65, Trincao 67, Santos 82/Atletico Madrid – Porto 2-1 (0-0)/Hermoso 90+2 – Griezmann 90+11 – Uribe 90+6 pen/Barcelona – Viktoria Plzen 5-1 (3-1)/Kessie 13, Lewandowski 34, 45+3, 68, Torres 71 – Sykora 44/Club Brugge – Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 (1-0)/Sylla 42/Inter – Bayern 0-2 (0-1)/Sane 25, D’Ambrosio 66 og/Napoli – Liverpool 4-1 (3-0)/Zielinski 5 pen, 47, Anguissa 31, Simeone 44 – Diaz 49/Tottenham – Marseille 2-0 (0-0)/Richarlison 76, 81/
