Borussia Dortmund vs. Liverpool: BVB fearful of emotional Klopp reunion

Borussia Dortmund will be keen to focus on football, and not Jurgen Klopp's return, when Liverpool travels to Germany in the Europa League.

Jurgen Klopp will make his much-anticipated return to Borussia Dortmund with Liverpool in the Europa League on Thursday.

Thursday's quarterfinal first leg at Signal Iduna Park sees Klopp return to a club where he won consecutive Bundesliga titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12, before reaching the 2013 Champions League final, where Dortmund lost to rival Bayern Munich.

After Klopp's final season ended in far from fitting fashion - Dortmund was bottom for large parts of the campaign, including throughout the midseason break - Thomas Tuchel has taken the club back to the top, and it sits five points off Bayern with six games to play.
