Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik apologises for missing a late chance against Liverpool, with Alisson's save leading to Napoli's exit from the Champions League.

Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik has said that he is "so sorry" for missing a late chance in the club's Champions League fixture with Liverpool.

The Italian giants were 1-0 down in added-on time at Anfield and Milik had the chance to net a dramatic equaliser from close range, only to be denied by a brilliant save from goalkeeper Alisson.

Napoli have now been eliminated from the Champions League and although Alisson has received widespread praise for his intervention, Milik acknowledged that he felt guilty over the squandered opportunity.

The Poland international told Sky Sport Italia: "I have to forget about that final chance and you can't think about these things for long because our next game against Cagliari comes quickly.

"We have a lot of respect for Liverpool and they played a great game at home. It is just a shame about that last chance that fell to my feet. I'm so sorry about it but the next game is coming soon and we must now focus on that."

Napoli will feature in the Europa League in February having finished third in Group C.
