Intro:

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to the Champions League for refuge, even if that entails a daunting visit to Turkish league runner-up Galatasaray on Wednesday (22 October).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (German) Ilkay Gundogan, Dortmund:

"Yes it's good, for five weeks I've been training with the team in addition to some friendly matches my fitness is up. I feel very good."

SOUNDBITE (German) Juergen Klopp, Borussia Dortmund coach:

"If we get a good result tomorrow, people will say we are only good here. If we lose they will say that our form is bad. If we win, we can say our form is getting better."

SOUNDBITE (German) Juergen Klopp, Borussia Dortmund coach:

"My expectation is that our team will play defensively and strong. We have to correct many things in the team in order to win."

SOUNDBITE (German) Juergen Klopp, Borussia Dortmund coach:

"We know that Sneijder is dangerous from distance, before we saw his goal on the weekend. In general, Galatasaray are a good team, good football and good positioning."
