For the second time in this campaign at Anfield, the Reds squandered a Yossi Benayoun lead to lose out to an injury-time goal, this time from Alberto Gilardino.
Martin Jorgensen had equalised for La Viola as the Italians snatched Group E victory from the hands of Lyon, who beat Debrecen 4-0 but finish second.
On a rainy night in the North West the clash did have some positive spin for Liverpool fans, with £20 million signing Alberto Aquilani starting and looking good in flashes, while star striker Fernando Torres (pictured) came off the bench and seemed fully-fit.
Less impressive was the full debut of 21-year-old right-back Stephen Darby, who was directly at fault for the winner and the recipient of a cool dummy from Gilardino as he created the equaliser.
With Fiorentina already qualified and Liverpool condemned to the Europa League, the match started in pedestrian fashion.
