Liverpool vs Napoli LIVE stream: Champions League 2018-19 football as it happened as Reds reach last-16
Liverpool vs Napoli
Champions League 2018-19
Venue: Anfield
Liverpool should have coasted to victory in their make-or-break Champions League decider but in the end they progressed to the knockout stage with the minimum requirement of a 1-0 win against Napoli.
As has often been the case a moment of Mohamed Salah first-half magic broke the deadlock with a clever piece of penalty-area trickery.
Had Sadio Mane been even close to his sharpest, Jurgen Klopp's side would have been out of sight without having to worry about the repercussions of conceding - which would have required a clear two-goal victory.
But Liverpool's European exploits are rarely without drama and had goalkeeper Alisson Becker, a virtual spectator for 90 minutes, not kept out Arkadiusz Milik in added time they would have been staring into the Europa League abyss after Christmas.
