With Borussia Dortmund riding high in the Bundesliga and holding their own in a competitive UEFA Europa League Group J, the German club's former striker Karl-Heinz Riedle sees plenty of positives for Jürgen Klopp's side this campaign.

Riedle, who scored twice in Dortmund's UEFA Champions League final triumph over Juventus in 1997, told UEFA.com on the recent UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour: "They have found the right recipe, the perfect mix of experienced ... and young players, especially in defence. And then they have a coach who really understands and projects his enthusiasm and just fits Borussia 100%."
