Napoli 2 Liverpool 0
It was the most exciting 80 minutes of scoreless football you may see this year, the Scousers and Scugnizzo went at each other. Liverpool are the hardest working club in Europe, they can easily defend their title. It came down to who would would make the first mistake, Mertens tried a nutmeg on Robertson, he got taken down - penalty. It was a contest between the world two best defenders, Koulibaly prevailed over Van Dijk. The Dutchman was pressured by Fabian, forcing him to make an errant back pass that Lliorente pounced upon and scored. Nice show of sportsmanship at the end, Mane and Di Lorenzo had been battling for 95 minutes, then they exchanged strips. This was Insigne's first match back after injury, he played an hour. The English were not aware of that, questioning why he was substituted for Zielinsky.
Unlike the Inter - Slavia match which was dull, DULL, DULL. Antonio Conte was clearly thinking about the weekends Milan Derby. He left Barella on the bench, Inter went down a goal. He came in and scored saving Inter from a "faccia di sciafi" (face slapping) from the press.
Again ManU wanted to buy Koulibaly, Napoli asked for $167 Million.
