Jurgen Klopp looking forward to Real Madrid challenge

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is looking forward to facing Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in Wednesday's Champions League Group D clash.

Dortmund are second to Real in the group and could go above the Spaniards with a win, but Klopp said that Real have rarely been as good as they are currently.

"It is a huge challenge," UEFA.com quotes Klopp as saying. "I have watched Madrid a lot, and I saw them in Amsterdam where they put in a huge performance.

"They were tactically disciplined, quick, showed anticipation, pressed and counterattacked while playing football of a high technical standard. That left quite an impression.

"I have seen Real Madrid a lot but hardly ever this good."

Dortmund are three points clear of closest challengers Manchester City.
