Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Arsene Wenger deserves a knighthood for his efforts with Arsenal, and that he prefers watching the Gunners over watching Barcelona.
According to the Mirror, the quintessential football hipster has already heaped praise upon Arsenal this season, and ahead of Dortmund's clash against the Gunners this week he is at it once again, evangelising Arsenal and the English game.
Klopp said that for him, the manager is Sir Arsene Wenger, adding that he is really something and he loves him, adding that when he has watched Arsenal in the last ten years, it is nearly perfect football.
The Borussia Dortmund boss also criticised Barcelona, and said that he was a young child growing up watching the current Barcelona side, he wouldn't want to be a footballer, he'd want to be a tennis player, according to the report.
