Liverpool's immediate Champions League future has come down to an all-or-nothing decider at home to Napoli next month following a frustrating 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in France.

Jurgen Klopp's side have to beat the Serie A side by more than one goal to ensure progress to the knockout stage having suffered a fourth successive Champions League away defeat - this being the first time they have lost all three away group games.

Juan Bernat and Neymar, whose 31st goal in the competition saw him leapfrog Kaka as the top-scoring Brazilian, put the hosts ahead before James Milner's penalty on the stroke of half-time offered hope.

But despite an improved second-half performance Liverpool could not find an equaliser, leaving themselves with it all do in what is certain to be a highly charged occasion in a fortnight's time.

Re-live all the action below:

FULL TIME: SPURS 1-0 INTER MILAN 

Eriksen's late goal has given Spurs the much needed three points which means their trip to the Nou Camp next week is still an important one. 

Now, can Liverpool get a late goal themselves?

PSG 2-1 Liverpool 

It will all come down to Matchday 6 for both Liverpool and Tottenham now with the Reds having lost every single one of their away group games. 

They'll need to beat Napoli in a couple of weeks but it's bound to be electric at Anfield. 

PSG were worthy winners tonight and really could and should have got a couple more goals.
