Europa League: Klopp happier in Dortmund than North Korea

Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:25

Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to his return to Borussia Dortmund this evening - at least more than a trip to North Korea. The Liverpool boss made the tongue-in-cheek comments in front of a packed press conference ahead of their Europa League clash with his former German club. Klopp won two titles during his time in the Bundersliga, and admits that his current side will face ‘the highest mountain to climb’. Dortmund knocked Tottenham out of the competition with a comprehensive 5-1 aggregate victory, while Liverpool beat Manchester United in the previous round and are unbeaten in the Europa League this season. Kick-off is 11:05pm UAE time.
