Arthur Melo has made his debut as a Liverpool player, but he did so on Wednesday in a very sad night for the ‘reds’, who lost 4-1 against Napoli at the Diego Maradona stadium, on the first day of group A of the Champions League. A painful premiere for the former Barcelona player, who was not among those responsible.
Arthur entered the field in the 76th minutewhen he replaced Harvey Elliott (one of the ‘reds’ who struggled the hardest on a black night for most Liverpool players).
When the Brazilian international departed, the fate of the match was decided, not only because Napoli won 4-1 but also because this Wednesday Liverpool was an unknown team, with most of its stars at a very low level. Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara reappeared after his injury entering the 62nd minute.
Liverpool signing Arthur was one of the nice surprises of the recent summer market. The Brazilian midfielder joined the ‘red’ team on loan from Juventus and has a purchase option for the Anfield club for 37.5 million euros.
Like other rebulsions attempted by Jürgen Klopp, Arthur was unable to change the script of a meeting that brought so much joy to the Napoli fans and left Liverpool very worried.
