Borussia Dortmund draws Liverpool in Europa League quarterfinals

Liverpool will meet Borussia Dortmund while Athletic Bilbao faces Sevilla in the Europa League quarterfinals.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will return to former club Borussia Dortmund after the two sides were drawn against each other in the Europa League quarterfinals.

After triumphing against arch-rival Manchester United in the last 16, Klopp was asked about the possibility of facing his former club, indicating that he did not want to draw Dortmund, asking: "Why should I want the strongest team in the round?"

Klopp now returns to Dortmund to face Thomas Tuchel's side for a place in the semifinals, though much of the focus will be on the German manager heading back to his former club, while Dortmund again returns to England after defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the previous round on Thursday night.
