Napoli v Liverpool: Champions League match preview

Liverpool received a taste of their own medicine as Napoli scored a 90th-minute winner to inflict a 1-0 defeat on Jurgen Klopp's side in the Stadio San Paolo.

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.

The game will be shown live on BT Sport 3.

What time does it start?

Tottenham vs Barcelona

Barcelona have lost just one of their last 11 Champions League matches against English clubs winning 8 and drawing 2.

However, they are without a win in their last two visits to England. They drew with Chelsea last season and were defeated by Manchester City in 2016/17.

Spurs won all three home games in last season's Champions League group stage, scoring three goals in each but...

Pochettino has won only once in nine previous meetings with Barcelona as a manager in all competitions, he also has 3 draws and 5 defeats to the Spanish giants.

2 mins: Tottenham 0 - 1 Barcelona - Coutinho

1 minute and 32 seconds into the game and Barcelona go in front at Wembley, Messi works the ball out to Jordi Alba on the left wing and he collects it in the box drawing out Lloris before passing it to Coutinho. Coutinho takes a touch, looks up and finishes it easily into the open net
