Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp has urged his players to focus on Bundesliga duties rather than their daunting Champions League group.
The German champions were grouped with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax during Thursday’s Champions League draw in Monaco, but Klopp has insisted that their focus should lie on Saturday’s league clash with Nuremberg.
“It is an incredibly tough yet incredibly attractive group,” the Dortmund coach told reporters.
“However, Nurnberg were and still are the dominant issue this week. They are, unfortunately, on a roll.”
Borussia Dortmund recorded a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen in their Bundesliga opener last week, while Nuremberg beat Hamburg 1-0.
The previous Bundesliga encounter between both sides ended in a 2-0 win for the reigning champions.
