Liverpool begin their Champions League title defence with a visit to Napoli on Tuesday night, the Serie A side that beat the Reds and almost fatally derailed the run that led all the way to the trophy last season.
The rerun of last term’s group stage fixture represents an intriguing tangle between two teams who finished second in their respective top flights last season.
