The 13-game winning streak for Napoli is over. The Serie A leaders suffered their first loss of the 2022–23 football season on Tuesday night at Anfield when they were defeated 2-0 by Liverpool.
Victor Osimhen and his Napoli colleagues were doomed to defeat by two late goals from Mohamed Salah and replacement Darwin Nunez.
Napoli defeated Liverpool 4-1 in the first leg, finishing first in Group A despite the loss, and should receive a more favorable round of 16 draws on Monday.
Leo Ostigard’s header in the 53rd minute appeared to give Luciano Spalletti’s team the lead, but after nearly four minutes of VAR review, they determined the Napoli defender was just slightly offside.
Goals in the 85th and 98th minutes ensure that Jurgen Klopp and his players will enter their EPL match against Tottenham at the weekend in a more positive frame of mind following their home loss to Leeds on Saturday.
In Marseille, Tottenham overcame the frantic atmosphere at the Velodrome to defeat their opponents 2-1 while Antonio Conte was absent from the coaching booth.
Chancel Mbemba’s thunderous header gave Marseille the lead after 45 minutes, knocking Tottenham out of the Champions League. However, Clement Lenglet’s first Tottenham goal and Pierre Hojbjerg’s 95th-minute winner guaranteed that Antonio Conte’s team won Group D.
Confirmed for the round of 16 ✅
