Borussia Dortmund troll Jurgen Klopp on his return to former stomping ground

Kevin McGillicuddy

Oh those Germans, they really crack us up.

Jurgen Klopp is around 24 hours away from walking out at the football club where he made his name as one of Europe’s elite coaches.

The current Liverpool boss is back at the Westfalenstadion for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final as his former side, Borussia Dortmund, host his current side, Liverpool.

Klopp spent seven seasons at the club, and although things on the pitch went south during his final season, he left Dortmund with two famous Bundesliga titles, a glowing reputation and is still a huge favourite with the club’s fans.

While the fans may be on his side, the staff at Dortmund see the funny side of his return with this gentle reminder that he will be in the unfamiliar away dressing room tomorrow night.

Anyone know the German for ‘banter’?
