Liverpool star is trying to be upbeat after loss.
Liverpool star James Milner is trying to be upbeat despite the Reds’ opening Champions League defeat.
Milner started as Liverpool lost 2-0 away at Napoli, with two late goals from Dries Mertens and Fernando Llorente.
It is not an ideal start, but Milner believes that losing the opener is far from the end of their adventure.
The reds are the reigning champions and also lost to Napoli in the group stages last season.
While Liverpool lost at Napoli last season, they can’t afford to believe that it will automatically be alright this time around too.
Genk should be beaten easily home and away, but Red Bull Salzburg look a really dangerous team, scoring six goals last night.
Both Salzburg and Napoli have a three point lead on Liverpool with five games left, and Jurgen Klopp’s side must refocus and rise to the challenge.
