The debut of the current UEFA Champions League runners-up could not have been more disastrous than a 4-1 drubbing away to Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, with Klopp's performance perhaps one of his worst since he has been in charge of the Reds, with only the Colombian Luis Díaz, who scored the only goal for the English side in that 4-1 defeat, escaping all the criticism.

An overwhelming 4-0 that had the names of Piotr Zieliński, Giovanni Simeone and Zambo Anguissa written all over it, was leaving a Liverpool side that until that moment could not figure out how to break the scoreline for more than 45 minutes, and Luis Diaz had to arrive to score that great goal that put the finishing touches on a disastrous Champions League matchday 2.

Although that goal ended up saving his participation against Napoli, the Colombian striker argues that his contribution was of no use, wishing he could have done more for his team that during the 90 minutes was far outplayed by the Gli Azzurri who did not miss the opportunity to take the biggest advantage to get close to the top even very early in the competition.

That goal, rather than helping the team, ended up helping Luis Diaz, who is gradually regaining his confidence in attack, having to shoulder the team against a Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino who are struggling with the goal. The Colombian has now scored three goals in the Premier League and one more in this new edition of the Champions League, quickly beginning to match his numbers from last season in fewer games played.

At the moment Diaz knows that his club is not going through a good moment at all, understanding that the best thing for his teammates and for him will be to concentrate on the upcoming commitments that they will have in the different competitions in which they are, being their nearest rival Wolves on date 7 of the Premier League, while in the Champions League it will be Ajax.
