Jurgen Klopp Backs Liverpool to Improve After Defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Pre-Season Tour

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has admitted that he 'learned nothing' from his side's 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, but the 52-year-old insisted the match was an important stepping stone as they look to improve in pre-season.

Paco Alcácer grabbed the opening goal of the game inside the opening three minutes but Harry Wilson's smart finish levelled the scoreline heading into half time.

Thomas Delaney and Jacob Bruun Larsen gave Borussia Dortmund a two-goal cushion after the break, although Rhian Brewster halved the deficit with a stunning penalty later in the second half.

Lucien Favre's Dortmund held on for the win at the Notre Dame Stadium, but Klopp played down the importance of the final result as Liverpool continue to build up their momentum during pre-season.
