Club Quote by Jurgen Klopp
“Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.”

![“Achieving Champions League football is the minimum requirement and always the most important thing for [Dortmund Borussia] club. Beyond that, we want to win a trophy. Maybe the German Cup, because we've reached the last three finals, but haven't won one, so that's a big motivation for us.” quote by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e58/pierre-emerick-aubameyang-6974_achieve_achieving-champions-league-football-is-t_204544.jpg)
