The German coach promises an emotional return when Liverpool visit Dortmund in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals today, April 7.

* The Dortmund - Liverpool match takes place at 2:05 a.m., Hanoi time, April 8.

Home team coach Thomas Tuchel said: "Liverpool have been stronger recently, and a big part of that is thanks to Jurgen.

Klopp and Liverpool will have a tough match at Signal Iduna Park.

Coach Tuchel replaced Klopp less than a year ago and has left a strong mark. However, he has not forgotten, and cannot deny, the efforts of his predecessor.

"Dortmund is what it is today thanks to Jurgen. Whether it's eight months or eight years, his contribution to Dortmund is still there. I would be surprised if Jurgen doesn't get a warm welcome when he returns. He deserves it," said coach Tuchel. "Jurgen is a competitive person. He wants to win, and so do we."

Dortmund are considered a strong candidate for the Europa League title this season, as their strength has been proven throughout the season. In the round of 16, the "Black and Yellow" easily defeated Tottenham, even winning on the opponent's field.

Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer calls Dortmund a Europa League side, but has the strength of the best teams in the Champions League.
