What They're Saying
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp (via UEFA): "We showed some improvement against Bayern [Munich], even if we didn't quite get the result. We will try to get a result tomorrow and work on our movement on the pitch. We anticipate a strong Galatasaray side aiming to dramatically improve their situation in the group. With three points, they will throw the group wide open and we want to prevent that. They will be confident after recent league performances."
Galatasaray manager Cesare Prandelli: "Once more, we are up against one of the strongest teams in the Champions League. We want to show that we are highly motivated and can play a positive and successful match. We must be aggressive and focused. We will look for space and try to score goals. I hope we will be focused enough to do so when it comes to it."
