Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is delighted his new side will take on his former club Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League, calling it “really special” and “a story only football can write.”
Klopp made a name for himself at the Signal Iduna Park, where he guided Dortmund from the depths of the Bundesliga standings to the domestic title and 2013 UEFA Champions League final.
He joined Liverpool in 2015 and will face Die Schwarzgelben for the first time during the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
Per David Maddock of the Daily Mirror, Klopp can't wait for the tie to kick off:
I think the whole world will watch.
