Jurgen Klopp says that Borussia Dortmund can party after reaching the Champions League final.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he will not be a "muppet" and will allow his players to celebrate reaching the Champions League final on Tuesday.

The Bundesliga outfit slipped to a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu but advanced to the Wembley final 4-3 on aggregate.

While he admitted that he wouldn't be joining them, Klopp said that he would not deny the players the chance to enjoy their accomplishments.

"I will not stop the team from celebrating. I will stay in the hotel, though, and have a few beers there," Klopp told Sky Sports News.

"The players deserve some time off after a game like this. I will not deny them that, what kind of muppet would I be if I did?"

Dortmund will face either Bayern Munich or Barcelona in the final.
