The 47-year-old has taken responsibility for his
"stupid" behaviour in the loss to the Partenopei, in which he was
sent to the stands.
Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp had admitted that he
went too far in venting his frustrations during the 2-1 defeat to Napoli in the
Champions League, claiming he "behaved like a monkey".
The 47-year-old coach was sent off for gesticulating
angrily at the fourth official after he refused to allow Neven Subotic to
return to the field of play following a head injury.
However, Klopp has taken full responsibility for his
behaviour in the loss to Rafael Benitez's men - but believes victory was there
for the taking.
Speaking to ZDF, he said: "We did not show our
prettiest face tonight, yet we lost with the closest of defeats.
"We know now that we can beat Napoli, but too many
things went wrong, including my red card. It was stupid and I acknowledge that.
"I behaved like a monkey out there. I went too
far."
Last year's beaten finalists went behind to a Gonzalo
Higuain goal on 27 minutes, with Lorenzo Insigne doubling the advantage midway
through the second half before Juan Zuniga netted an own goal three minutes
from time.
