Team split, Van Dijk is furious with Nunez for this reason and Klopp will make this decision

The match between Liverpool and Napoli didn't need to kick off for the Reds players and fans to know that this was going to be one of the toughest games of the season, and the game unfolded as expected with a tight scoreline that was settled on a couple of set pieces, leaving Liverpool with a 2-0 scoreline that didn't leave the whole team very happy.

The player most angry with what was happening on the pitch was Mohamed Salah who had a clear chance to score in the first half, but after his goal in the 85th minute things changed and everyone in Liverpool was relieved and happy for the great result they were getting so far, but minutes later and on the hour, the second goal of the reds came to generate only doubts and anger among those present on the pitch.

The doubts came when the central referee submitted the play for review for a possible offside when the ball was being counter-attacked into the net, but once it was decided that the goal scored by Darwin Núñez was valid, the anger came from his team-mate Virgil van Dijk, and it was not for nothing as the Dutchman was the one who had created the first shot that was already going straight into the net, even with the goalkeeper's save, the effort of the Charrúa striker being completely unnecessary.

It was not only the fact of taking away van Dijk's chance to score a goal in his 200th game with the Merseyside institution, but also that unnecessary shot by Núñez put that second goal at risk due to a possible offside, because if that overtaking had been carried out, the Uruguayan striker would have been ridiculed thanks to his ambition to score his third goal of the season in the Champions League.

That goal against Napoli was the perfect way for van Dijk to celebrate 200 appearances in which he has won 137, drawn 34 and lost just 28 times, leading a defence in spectacular fashion and setting an example as a player who is aggressive but not dirty, with his stats showing he has not been sent off on any occasion and has only received a total of 14 yellow cards.
