​BVB chief wants Liverpool draw for retribution

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has stated that he would like to face Liverpool in the Champions League.

The two teams could draw each other, as the Reds finished second in their group behind Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds defeated Dortmund in 2016 in the Europa League quarter finals.

Now Watze wants revenge in a rematch.

"I was just looking at the groups and determined that there are three teams in second position; Liverpool, Manchester United at Tottenham," he told reporters.

"The main advantage [of Dortmund winning Group A] is the home advantage in the return leg.

"Liverpool may not necessarily be our opponent, although we still have a debt to settle!"
