NAPLES, Italy — Liverpool has a long way to go to regain the form that took it to the final of last season's Champions League. Napoli overwhelmed the English power with three first-half goals in a 4-1 win in the opening round of group play. Piotr Zielinski converted a penalty, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa doubled the lead after the half-hour mark and substitute Giovanni Simeone scored on his competition debut just before the break. Zielinski added another two minutes after the break before Luis Díaz finally pulled one back for Liverpool on a counterattack in the 49th. Ajax beat Rangers 4-0 in the other Group A match earlier.
