El Kloppico.
No? Okay.
Liverpool’s victory over Manchester United in the first ever competitive European fixture between the two English giants means that Jurgen Klopp’s team have a place in the last eight of the Europa League.
Before the draw, much of the Twitter chat from Liverpool fans centred around how much they wanted to avoid Klopp’s old club, Borussia Dortmund, who emphatically defeated Tottenham in the last 16.
Funny.
Please NOT Liverpool Vs. Dortmund! 😁 #EuropaLeague #QuarterFinal

Unfortunately, many of those mystic Liverpool fans were proved to be absolutely correct, as they were left with only the German giants in the hat.
Some Reds fans were excited at the news.

Really want us to qualify for CL via an Europa cup win. But Dortmund might prove to be too strong? #LFC

And it’s fair to say Manchester United think they may have had a lucky escape.

Blessing in disguise we didn't beat the scousers cause Dortmund would have just tortured us for 180 minutes

Jurgen Klopp’s return to Dortmund will take place on April 7, with the second leg at Anfield a week later.
