Kalidou Koulibaly admits that Napoli were afraid of Liverpool

Kalidou Koulibaly says that his Napoli side was afraid of Liverpool and the damage they are capable of inflicting on sides at home in the Champions League.

When Mohamed Salah breezed past Koulibaly, a world-class centre-half, like he wasn’t even there, the home crowd lept to their feet.

That moment from what was a Champions League decider full of talking points highlights exactly why this current Liverpool side is always fully capable of winning games.

“It was an important game, we knew they had to win,” Koulibaly told Calciomercato 

“Maybe, unconsciously, we feared Liverpool because we know they are very strong and that it’s not easy to play against them.

“We could avoid that goal and we should have done more to score one. It went differently, now we will do our best in the Europa League.

“We have a strong team that can beat everyone, and we came close to scoring. A draw was enough, but we lost. It’s just a negative night, we’ll have other positive nights for sure.”
