"Without a doubt the Supercup is an important competition which is gaining in importance by the year," Klopp told Bundesliga.com.

"The comparable competition in other countries has enjoyed a lot of prestige for many years and we in Germany are now on the right path towards a similar situation.

"There's no question that we'll be attempting to win this first title of the season too. We're involved in it for the third season in a row after all, and we haven't won either of the last two."
