Ancelotti quotes Klopp’s words at the end of the match
Carlo Ancelotti has praised Napoli for the 2-0 win over Liverpool, while telling what Jurgen Klopp had said.
A penalty by Dries Mertens and a Virgil van Dijk error by Fernando Llorente gave the Italian team three points.
“It’s always tough against Liverpool, from the first minute to the last. We had to sacrifice ourselves, but not lose our identity, ”the Italian strategist told Sky Sport Italia.
This is the fourth time that Ancelotti has defeated the English club with four different clubs, while Napoli have defeated the champion in the last edition of the group stage in San Paolo.
The Partenopei coach had joked with Jurgen Klopp at the end of the match and told what he had said.
“I told him not to worry, because if he loses here, he is likely to win the Champions League. I assured him of this! “, The Italian stated referring to last season’s victory.
