UEFA Champions League is back! The 2019-20 campaign kicks off today and we can’t wait. There are several good matches lined up for the opening day.

Liverpool are scheduled to meet Napoli away from home in Group E fixture. Liverpool have won all 5 leagues matches and are at the top of the EPL table, while, Napoli have won two of three Serie A fixtures. Both teams are scoring for fun, so it’s going to be a good encounter.

Here are the last four meetings (competitive) between the clubs:

In the reverse fixture, Liverpool came on top courtesy of Steven Gerrard hattrick. Napoli’s Ezequiel Lavezzi scored first (28’) but Steven Gerrard’s late hattrick ruined their party. Gerrard equalized in the 75th minute and the game was headed towards a draw. But Napoli gave away a penalty in the 88th minute and Gerrard made no mistake from the spot. And just a minute later Gerrard completed his hattrick and won the game for the home team.

This win eventually helped Liverpool finish as the group leaders.

However, due to some resilience from Liverpool, Napoli could score just one- a 90th min goal by Lorenzo Insigne.
