Used day for Liverpool FC and its German coach Jürgen Klopp.

The Reds lost 1: 4 (0: 3) in Naples.

Leverkusen also built on the poor performances from the Bundesliga in the Champions League and lost 1-0 (0-1) in Bruges, but also had a lot of bad luck.

Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski scored FC Barcelona's 5-1 win over Pilsen.

Bayer Leverkusen is not in step this season.

After the Werkself had already been eliminated in the DFB Cup and are miles behind their own expectations in the Bundesliga, the club went bankrupt in the Champions League as well.

Leverkusen lost 0:1 (0:1) at FC Brugge.

Abakar Sylla scored the goal just before the break with a header (42').

Goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký made an unfortunate impression when he actually had the ball safely and let it slip through.

Before that, there was once again far too little from Leverkusen.

Apart from a shot at the post by Moussa Diaby (27th), it rarely became dangerous.

From Leverkusen's point of view it was bitter in the second half when Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah scored the supposed equalizer, but before that he was just offside (73').

After that, Bayer tried a lot, but it didn't work out enough.

Disastrous evening for Liverpool FC.

Jürgen Klopp's team was overwhelmed from the start by the aggressive Italians from SSC Napoli and lost 4-1.

After just five minutes, Piotr Zielinski sunk a hand penalty caused by James Miller.

Even after that, Liverpool didn't find their way into the game.

Trent Alexander-Arnold tried it once from a distance (22'), once Mohamed Salah appeared in the Naples penalty area, but his shot was too harmless (30').

The hosts were more dangerous: André-Frank Zambo Anguissa made it 2-0 after Liverpool lost the ball (31').

Shortly before the break, Giovanni Simeone, who came on for the injured Victor Osimhen, made it 3-0 (44').

SSC Napoli could even afford a missed penalty by Osimhen (18th).

In the second half, Napoli even made it 4-0, Zielinski scored again (47').

The 1: 4 by Luis Díaz was nothing more than a brief sign of life from the disappointing English (49th).

FC Barcelona has solved its mandatory task against Viktoria Pilsen confidently and won 5:1.

Man of the match was Robert Lewandowski.

The ex-Bayer made it 2-0 (34'), made it 3-1 shortly before the break (45+3') and then increased to 4-1 (67').

Before that, Franck Kessié gave the superior Catalans an early lead (16').

Pilsen tried a lot, but was then too limited.

The Czechs couldn't do more than the interim 1:2 through Jan Sykora, who kept boldly countering.

Ferran Torres scored the fifth goal for the enthusiastic Catalans (71st).

The guests were overrun in Amsterdam's Johan Cruyff Arena: Edson Álvarez opened the attack with a header after a corner (17th).

In the lead, Ajax dominated helpless Rangers with impressive combinations.

When Steven Berghuis made it 2-0, the home team was lucky that the harmless low shot was deflected (32nd).

The following goal just a minute later was all the more impressive: Kudus prevailed on the left with a single action and threw the ball into the long corner (33').

In the closing stages, Steven Bergwijn even made it 4-0, but had to leave immediately after scoring due to muscle cramps (80').
