Schalke 04 looking to upset Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League
German Bundesliga side Schalke 04 will take on English Premier League giants Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League at the Veltins-Arena on Tuesday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 arrived at Gelsenkirchen in 2010 and has been an immense presence in the Schalke attack. The veteran striker has already won the Champions League three times with Real Madrid but still has the hunger to repeat the feat at least once with Schalke- a
club that has seen a turbulent season so far.
While talking to the media, Raul said, “Logic dictates that United will go through, but we're going to give it all we've got.”
Even coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ralf-c30492 Rangnick has admitted that his side will start the game as underdogs but added that he wants to lead his side to the final in Wembley.
“We know we're the underdogs, but that's what we were against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan in the quarter-finals as well,” said a defiant Ralf Rangnick.
Highly rated Schalke defender Benedikt Howedes scored a goal in the second leg of the quarter-final against Inter Milan but a stomach muscle strain has raised doubts on the youngster’s availability in the game.
On the other hand, Raul will be a definite starter. The Spaniard is one player on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues’ side who knows all about Manchester United. The Spanish goal-machine scored a brace on two separate occasions against the Red Devils during his time at Real
Madrid. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international is looking forward to Tuesday’s match as well.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 has been the main talking point at the Gelsenkirchen since the day he announced that he would not be staying at the club beyond the current season. The 25-year-old has been described as the best goalkeeper of his age.
“There is the experience of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 and Edwin van der Sar. I was a big fan of Van der Sar when I was growing up, but you can't just pick out one player. The team is the star at Manchester United. I have to say I really like the way they play,” said the
shot-stopper.
