Champions League: Jurgen Klopp puts his faith in Mario Gotze

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp will put his faith in Mario Gotze in Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first-leg clash with Real Madrid, hoping his transfer to Bayern Munich will not become a distraction.

That objective for coach Jose Mourinho is to reach a second final in four years having made it to the last four for a record-equalling seventh time. After losing out to Bayern Munich a year ago, he is also keen to avoid defeat to German opposition for the second year running, but says the tie, and the Champions League, is wide open. "Four of the six teams everybody was expecting are in the semi-finals," he said. "It could have been (Manchester) United or Juventus, but no other team. "I would say it is 25% for Dortmund and 25% for Real to win the title."
