Champions League holders Liverpool defeated by Napoli
Liverpool has fallen into a trap in their Champions League's opening against Napoli, after losing 2-0 on Tuesday in Group E of the tournament.
Napoli's goals were scored by Dries Mertens from a penalty at minute 82 and Fernando Llorente at minute 90 in the game. The Reds became the first Champions League holders to lose in its opening game in the following season, since AC Milan lost to Ajax back in 1994.
Liverpool has not managed to win any game as a visiting team in the Champions League since defeating Slovenian NK Maribor (7-0) on 17 October 2017.
Last season, Liverpool won the Champions League after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0. The Reds top the Premier League table this season so far with 15 points, winning their first five matches.
