The Reds have done an excellent job of turning their season around and now are confirmed to move onto the next stage of the Champions League.

Winning the Champions League just a few years ago doesn’t go away, and the experience that the squad has with each other will prove valuable in the long run.
Napoli are considered one of, if not the best team in football right now.
The Serie A club has improved leaps and bounds over what many would have thought coming into this season, reflecting the moves they made in the transfer market.

Hirving Lozano is considered one of the veterans of the squad at a mere age of twenty-seven, which reflects how much growing up to do many of the players have.
