Liverpool were beaten 2-1 in Paris by PSG on Wednesday whilst Napoli defeated Red Star Belgrade 3-1 in Naples.
Those results mean that Liverpool have to beat Napoli by two clear goals in the final matchday to secure qualification, a 1-0 win would also put the Reds through.
Speaking after the game in France Klopp said "We will fly back and prepare for the derby. Then on the 11 December we have a proper final at Anfield.
"The start was like what we expected, it was very wild and intense and they took all the risks.

"When a game starts like that it is difficult to gain confidence so it was never our game. Another little hurdle we had to overcome was the 500,000 disruptions in the second half and the referee still thinks he did everything right.
"We are one of the fairest teams in England but tonight we looked like butchers. We have to take the result but it still feels a bit rubbish and now we have to use Anfield one more time."
Liverpool were incensed in the first half when Marco Verratti was only shown a yellow for a late challenge on Joe Gomez and Klopp said he thought the midfielder should have been sent off.
Everyone has eyes. For me it's a red card yes.
