Brendan Rodgers’ side drew 2-2 with Napoli in their opener and the manager said afterwards he wants his team to learn from the match.

He told BT Sport: “The effort and mentality was very good. It is a shame we could not close it out. There were so many good parts.

“The crime is not giving away the two goals, the crime is if you don’t learn. It is something I am sure this young team will do is learn. It was a great football game to watch and a game that we can learn from.”
