Mertesacker knows of Borussia Dortmund very well, having watched them win the Bundesliga last year.



"Dortmund were the best team in Germany last year, they do a good job passing the ball and have great players," said the former Werder Bremen man.



"It will be difficult for us but I know we have very good players and I'm confident we can get a result.



"Dortmund are the toughest opponent in our group, so we will be very happy if we can take something from this match."
