Borussia Dortmund prepared for their Champions League clash with Arsenal with a training session at London's Regent's Park.

The German giants surprised locals who were hoping for a kickabout on one of several bobbly pitches more accustomed to Sunday league football.

Dortmund posted pictures of them warming up and practising on their official Twitter account.
