Jurgen Klopp: I want Liverpool to play this team in Europa League final after Man Utd win
LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp admits he would love to face former club Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League, should they reach the final in Basel.
Jurgen Klopp wants to face Borussia Dortmund in Europa League final
Liverpool secured their place in the quarter-finals after last night's 1-1 draw at Manchester United, as Tottenham failed to produce a comeback against Dortmund.
Spurs were left to focus on their Premier League title bid after going down 2-1 to Dortmund at White Hart Lane, having lost their first leg 3-0 at the Westfalenstadion.
Klopp's men were in command of the last-16 tie following a 2-0 win at Anfield, but United gave their home fans hope of an unlikely recovery through a penalty from Anthony Martial on 32 minutes.
But Reds attacker Philippe Coutinho found the back of the net with a superb equaliser just before half-time following a mazy run, which proved enough to see the Merseysiders through.

And Klopp said: "I have contacts with my Dortmund friends, they all would like to play against us - but in Basel (in the final).
"But you saw all the results, there are only good teams left in the race. It's cool. Last eight? Perfect."
The German tactician left Dortmund in July 2015, having taken the Bundesliga giants to the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley.
