Napoli hailed by Italian papers after Champions League win over Liverpool

Napoli were the toast of Italy on Thursday morning after they slaughtered Liverpool to get their Champions League campaign off to a flyer.

'Fenomenapoli' screamed the headline of Corriere dello Sport as they reflected on a 4-1 win which saw Jurgen Klopp's side repeatedly exposed at the back.

'The Azzurri victory will go down in history,' the paper enthused. 'Liverpool were taught a lesson.'
