Napoli striker Fernando Llorente was delighted to score in victory over Champions League opponents Liverpool.

Llorente was part of the Tottenham team beaten by the Reds in last season's final.

The veteran said: "I wanted to play against the Reds, I'm happy because we showed we could live with the big names. These three points are very important, but it's just the first game: we still need a lot.

"We have to think about game after game, it will be hard.

"Scoring at the San Paolo is something incredible, I didn't imagine starting this adventure like this."
