Liverpool kicks off its Champions League title defense in Italy, as it travels to face Napoli in the opening match of Group E play in the 2019-2020 edition of the competition.
Liverpool had to go through Napoli in the group stage last season en route to the knockout rounds, requiring a 1-0 win over Carlo Ancelotti's side on the final day of group play just to secure its place in the last 16. Napoli won the bout between the two at the Stadio San Paolo also by a 1-0 scoreline, with Lorenzo Insigne's winner the difference. Napoli went out and added some key pieces in the summer, most notably center back Kostas Manolas from Roma and Mexican star Hirving Lozano from PSV, and the Serie A side will hope that's enough to push the side into the elimination stage of the competition.
