Carlo Ancelotti Admits Liverpool Have Been Responsible for His 'Biggest Disappointments'

Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has linked Liverpool to the 'biggest disappointments' of his career, but praised the Champions League holders, nevertheless, ahead of Tuesday night's group stage opener.

Ancelotti's Napoli beat Liverpool at home in the Champions League groups last year. However, the Italians were denied a spot in the last 16 of Europe's top competition as a Mohamed Salah strike and a late Alisson save secured the Reds' passage in the return fixture at Ancelotti's side's expense.

One year on, Napoli and Ancelotti are preparing to face Liverpool once again at Stadio San Paolo, with Ancelotti hoping for revenge.
