Ex-England manager says 4-1 win over Liverpool 'unfair' to Osimhen's Napoli

Fabio Capello believes Serie A club SSC Napoli deserved to have beaten Liverpool by a larger margin after their UCL clash in Wednesday.

Napoli was too good for the Reds after the Italians dominated and crushed Liverpool 4-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples.

Despite a penalty miss from Nigeria's Victor Osimhen, three first half goals from Piotr Zielinski, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa put Napoli in a comfortable 3-0 lead at the break.

Two minutes into the second half, Zielinski scored his second and Napoli's fourth of the game to make it 4-0 before Luis Diaz grabbed a consolation for Jurgen Klopp's men.

However,  according to former Juventus boss, Capello,  the Reds were lucky as Napoli deserved to win by a larger margin.

7-2 was the right result - Capello says

Speaking on Napoli's performance, the former England manager said that the Partenopei should have defeated Liverpool by 7-2 as that would have represented the right result.

"Napoli have quality and this was evident throughout the game," Capello said per Football-Italia via Sky Sport Italia.

"This Liverpool don’t have the same intensity they used to have when they won everything," he addee.

"Napoli’s game was extraordinary, a 4-1 win may be a bit unfair too, the right one was 7-2.”

Osimhen, who was subbed off in the first-half, and Napoli will take Rangers next on Tuesday in the UCL.

But first, they switch attention to the Serie A where they host Spezia at the Stadio Maradona on Saturday.
