Little or nothing can be salvaged from Liverpool's catastrophic Champions League debut against Napoli, with Luis Fernando Diaz being the only positive point the Reds had throughout the 90 minutes at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, the Colombian making up for the scoreline that the Italians had achieved in 47 near-perfect minutes with his goal.

Criticism of Liverpool's poor start has included the performances of the Colombian player, who has not been able to do much whenever he has been on the pitch. Although Diaz has managed to score a total of three goals in six games, the demands on the player have not stopped, as expectations are high when he is now trying to be the main replacement for Sadio Mané.

The scoreline on matchday one of the Champions League was definitely not ideal for the English, but within the bad, Luis Diaz is the good thing they can rescue, this after a bad participation of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino who could not during the time on the pitch make that difference that would bring them closer or at least cut that 4 that Napoli had in the scoreboard.

After that defeat by a landslide against the Gli Azzurri, Liverpool are third in Group A with 0 points, tied with Rangers, who were similarly embarrassed on their visit to the Netherlands against Ajax. Jurgen Klopp will now have to resume his involvement in the Premier League, looking to vindicate himself and his team-mates for the fans who are annoyed by the results.

Luis Díaz, the best reinforcement of the year

Diaz arrived in England for the 2021-2022 season wearing the red shirt at Anfield, playing a total of 26 games that were enough to show his quality, scoring 6 goals and assisting on 5 occasions. In this current campaign, the Colombian has been more effective with 4 goals in just 8 games played, being undoubtedly one of the best players that Liverpool has today in crisis.
