Two weeks ago the Reds snatched a winner of their own deep into added time to beat Paris St Germain but the tables were turned in Naples with Lorenzo Insigne sliding home from close range 30 seconds from the end of normal time.
In truth the hosts, who also hit the crossbar through substitute Dries Mertens, deserved it having dominated against a Liverpool side putting in one of their worst performances under Klopp.

5 mins: Tottenham 0 - 1 Barcelona
There was a worry that Spurs' mid-field wouldn't be able to cope with the skills and pace of Barcelona's so far that's proving to be true. Suarez and Coutinho link up this time to try and force their way through the defence but Davies holds firm and makes a good tackle
8 mins: Tottenham 0 - 1 Barcelona
Trippier is fouled by Messi and Spurs have a chance to get the ball into the penalty area, Suarez heads the ball away easily but Spurs come at the visitors again, this time with Harry Kane who can't quite get the ball across goal

Napoli win a corner but Alexander-Arnold gets the ball clear. Napoli almost make a mistake as they leave the ball to roll back to the keeper, Salah is alert and he chases after it but Ospina comes flying off his line and boots it away

Spurs have found their feet in attack now, but Son fouls Semedo and Barcelona take control once again
20 mins: Tottenham 0 - 1 Barcelona
One error from Hugo Lloris is all that separates the two teams so far. Spurs are pressing Barca high up the pitch and they are going in with some force with making their challenges for the ball. Busquets has been down for a couple of minutes holding his left leg and the physios are seeing to him
24 mins: Tottenham 0 - 1 Barcelona
Busquets is back on the pitch and Barca have the ball, they work it to Messi who tries to play in Jordi Alba behind the defence but the defender is ruled offside. Tottenham respond with Harry Kane as he finds himself in space and takes a shot from distance forcing Ospina into a save

Robertson out on the left, brings the ball back inside by giving it to Wijnaldum who tries a shot from just outside the box but he isn't set and the ball goes wide

Liverpool have a throw in deep in Napoli's half, but Napoli are able to break away on the counter, it's poor play from the home side though as Robertson is able to get back and defend
32 mins: Napoli 0 - 0 Liverpool
Napoli have a great chance to go ahead, the ball falls to Milik who has forced his way into the box and he manages to swivel with the ball and get a powerful shot away. Alisson can only react and he makes the save with a strong right hand
