Schalke head coach Huub Stevens has suggested that he is pleased with his team winning 2-1 against Olympiakos in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 on Tuesday. The German club won the important group opener in the Champions League Group B and snapped up three
points. English Premier League side Arsenal and Montpellier are also in their group.
The home team scored the first goal through their striker Djamel Abdoun, but the Greek outfit’s lead did not last long as Schalke captain Benedikt Howedes and their prolific target man http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 came to the rescue of
The Miners with goals in quick succession. The Bundesliga club played really well to claw their way back into the game.

round of the competition.
