'I reassured him!' - Ancelotti tells Klopp that losses in Naples lead to Champions League titles

Liverpool may have tasted defeat to Napoli in their Champions League group opener on Tuesday, but Carlos Ancelotti was quick to reassure Jurgen Klopp that the loss was, in fact, a good omen.

It was the second year running that Klopp's men had been beaten in Naples, the Serie A side having claimed a 1-0 win in the corresponding fixture last season.

And while Liverpool had their struggles away from Anfield in the Champions League group stage a year ago, Ancelotti was quick to point out that it did little to stop them lifting Europe's top trophy at the end of the campaign.
