Not long ago, Mkhitaryan talked about his experience working with then Dortmund coach Klopp from 2013 to 2016.

He said: "Every time I want to talk to Klopp, he always takes the time. Whether it is about football or personal issues, he is there to listen. I am very grateful to him."

"He still owes me 50 euros. That was during a training session when we made a bet: If I can score 7 goals in a practice, he will give me 50 euros; if I fail, I will give him."

"I started. It started, but the ball just didn't go in - it either went wide or hit the goalpost... Later, he stopped midway and said that the time was up and I had to give him 50 euros. I went back to the locker room and actually gave him the money. "

"Two days later, we played a game against Frankfurt and won 2-1. I scored two goals. After the game he came to hug me and I said to him: ‘Now you should give me back the 50 euros. ’”
