Borussia boss Klopp expecting exciting clash with Arsenal

Borussia Dortmund manager Juergen Klopp is confident that tomorrow night's Champions League fixture against Arsenal will provide some excitement for the fans.

The reigning Bundesliga champions host the Gunners at Signal Iduna Park for their first foray in the competition since 2003 and their boss has indicated that it will be a goalscoring exhibition.

"[The Arsenal game] will be a real attacking spectacle. Some of us have been waiting our whole footballing life for an opportunity like this," he told ran.de.

And Klopp said Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's touchline ban would not really affect the way the visitors go about things.

"It is not an advantage [that Wenger is banned]. It is easy to exaggerate the influence a coach can have on a game," he added.

"Plus Wenger has a good relationship with his assistant [Pat Rice]. It feels like the two have been together for over 40 years," he quipped.
