Klopp enjoys London ‘holiday’

Jurgen Klopp joked he was on holiday in north London and that the Champions League was a welcome distraction from the nightmare period his side are encountering in the Bundesliga.

It was only back in May 2013 Klopp steered his Borussia Dortmund side to the Champions League final at Wembley and they suffered the torture of giving away a last-minute goal which Arjen Robben scored to help Bayern Munich win the showpiece event.

The club have lost several big name players including Robert Lewandoski and Mario Gotze since and are now struggling to compete with their arch rivals Bayern.
