Jurgen Klopp looks to Europe

Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that the club can progress deep into the Champions League next season.

The Bundesliga champions finished bottom of Group F in the group stages last season, but Klopp believes that the club will provide a better showing this time around.

"We played really well in the Champions League last season, only without consistency. We hoped to give our best but managed only 80%, which is not good enough in a top competition like that," Klopp told ran.de.

"However, this year claiming the Champions League remains one of the club's objectives, a feat that is not impossible, seeing how Bayern Munich reached the finals.

"We feel clear about our potential, and the pressure is off after our last outing. That does not mean we already have the final, let alone the semi-finals, in our sights yet though."

Dortmund have won the German title in each of the last two seasons.
