For the first time in a relatively long time, Liverpool became a free object for mockers on Tuesday after losing 2-0 to Napoli in their first Champions League match.
The champions and currently EPL table leader attracted to themselves and their fans online knocks and innuendos, especially on Facebook.
Among those who had to cope with wild cracks from enemy-friends is arguably Liverpool’s most vocal fan in Nigeria, Bamidele Johnson, a media executive who not only lavishly celebrates the team’s victories on Facebook but also unleashes verbal mayhem on loser clubs.
Reuters/NAN reports that the Jurgen Klopp’s boys began their Champions League title defence with a 2-0 defeat away to Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo on Tuesday.
“Dries Mertens scored from the penalty spot with eight minutes remaining after Andy Robertson tripped Jose Callejon inside the box.
“Napoli substitute Fernando Llorente added a second in stoppage time to put the result beyond doubt.
“In the other Group E game, Salzburg made an impressive start with a 6-2 victory at home to Genk,” it adds.
