Anceplotti ré Cloppit: Anyone missing at Naples wins the Champions League title

This was the second consecutive year that Jurgen Klopp's boys were defeated in Naples, since Serie A's team had triumphed by 1:0 in the phase of past edition groups of the Champions League broadcast the Express.

And while Liverpool had a hard time fighting outside Anfield at the championship league stage last year, Anceplott stressed that this did not stop them from winning the competition trophy at the end of the season.

I told him not to worry because if he loses here, he's likely to go ahead and win the Champions League. I secured it”, Anceplotti said after the match for Sky Sports Italy.

Naples has won five of the six domestic matches against clubs from Premierligla to the Champions League, while the defeat continued a trend for Cloppin, which has now suffered losses on his last five trips to Italy.

And since this outcome may not be of great importance in the final ranking of clubs in the E Group, Anceplott was impressed by the way his team managed the match against Europe's champion.

I want to see that team that trusts themselves and their quality. I really like the way we played when we didn't have the ball”, Anceplott added.

Despite defeating Liverpool in Italy last season, Naples was eliminated from the stage of last season's Champions League groups, staying third in the wake of the Premierliga club and the winner of the group, Paris Saint-Germain.
