The Reds, with Uruguay's Darwin Nunez among the substitutes and without Colombian Luis Diaz, sealed their place in the last 16 after four wins and one defeat. So far, the team coached by German Jürgen Klopp is in second place in the group with 12 points. Napoli, meanwhile, qualified for the next round of the competition after winning their first five games.

The team coached by Luciano Spalletti, with Uruguayan Mathías Olivera in the starting line-up and Argentinian Giovanni Simeone in relief, is the leader of the group with 15 points. Liverpool beat Hirving "Chucky" Lozano's Napoli 2-0 at Anfield on Tuesday 1 November in the sixth and final matchday of Group A of the UEFA Champions League 2022-2023.

The goals were scored by Egypt's Mohamed Salah and Uruguay's Darwin Núñez. It is worth noting that the English and Italian sides had already qualified for the last 16 of the current edition of the most important club competition in European football. The first goal of the game came in the 85′ thanks to a strange goal scored by Mohamed Salah, who after Darwin Núñez's shot ended up pushing the ball over the line to make it 1-0. However, this did not stop there, because at 90+8, Darwin Núñez again with a play of rebounds inside the box also pushed the ball to take away Napoli's Champions League unbeaten run.

But the Reds' problem is in the Premier League as they moved 13 points off the pace and eight points clear of the Champions League zone; Leeds had not won since August. Liverpool's second straight defeat in the Premier League came after a 2-1 home loss to Leeds United on Matchday 14 to move 13 points off Manchester City's lead, although it could be 15 points if Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

'There have been tough conversations in the dressing room'

The truth about the problem in the team came to light thanks to the statements of Joe Gomez, one of the most criticised players, who said there have been tough conversations in the dressing room: "It's definitely challenging and there have been tough conversations in the dressing room because we've been used to getting consistent results. It's been testing, but nothing is plain sailing forever, so we've got to remember what our fundamentals and core beliefs off and try to make it right to get some consistency back."
