Liverpool suffered their first defeat since the Community Shield shoot-out on Tuesday as Napoli ran out 2-0 winners in their Champions League opener, but fans aren’t too concerned.
The Reds visited the San Paolo in last year’s group stage and lost the match in similar fashion, with a late goal, but ended the campaign by winning their sixth Champions League title. That fact hasn’t been lost on some of the supporters.
Another who recognised the trend is Carlo Ancelotti, who reportedly said to Jurgen Klopp: “Don’t you worry, if you lose in Naples, then you end up winning the Champions League.”
In general, fans are choosing to be optimistic about their chances despite a lacklustre display, although one fan expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance, which saw them manage only four shots on target.
Given the Reds also lost to PSG and Red Star Belgrade in last year’s group stage and still made it through, it is unlikely this result will trouble fans too much, particularly as they face Red Bull Salzburg next, which is a much more comfortable game on paper despite the Austrian outfit’s 6-2 win on matchday one.
