Although both Liverpool and Napoli had already qualified for the next round of the Champions League, the two sides took to the field at Anfield with the firm intention of taking all three points, and the Napoli fans were aggressive in their chants from the pitch and in the stands.
The pressure from the Gli Azurri from the stands was towards their opponents and the referees who marked a play in favour of the Reds, with a chorus that strongly offended the Merseyside institution, a situation that did not please the home side and much less Jürgen Klopp who could not find a way to capitalise on the chances that his team generated throughout the first half.
Against Napoli, Klopp will be looking to prove he's a match for Shankly and Paisley
Jürgen Klopp's worst news ahead of Napoli game confirmed
Hate chants have been used repeatedly in games against Liverpool, but even though Napoli do not have a long history against the Reds in the Champions League or an event to rival them, the Italian fans in the stands cheered their team on as they made it through the group stage and broke their two-match winless streak at Anfield by chanting 'F*kc you Liverpool'.
The stands as well as the match were likely to erupt when the first goal of the game was scored, with Liverpool coming closest to fulfilling the first goal of the night as they tested the Napoli keeper on a couple of occasions with Thiago Alcantara's long-range effort and Mohamed Salah's one-on-one against the keeper going wide to keep the score at 0-0.
Beyond the insults that have upset the Liverpool team and their fans, every game at Anfield usually ends well and without any accidents, causing anger for Klopp and his men only for their poor performance to result in a third defeat in a row and an end to that unbeaten home run.
