Raul Takes To The Stands To Celebrate Schalke’s Demolition Of Inter Milan (Video)
By Chris Wright
Fact: it’s physically impossible to dislike this man…
Schalke 04 formally booked themselves a semi-final tie with Manchester United after rounding off their routing of Inter Milan with a 2-1 win (7-3 on aggregate) in Gelsenkirchen last night.
A coruscating finish from Benedikt Howedes sealed the second-leg victory for the German side, connecting with a delightfully lofted throughball from Raul after the veteran Spaniard had opened the scoring (the 71st Champions League goal of his career) for the Bundesliga side just before half-time.
For the record, Thiago Motta prodded home Inter’s goal.

Quality…….Love it. Great scenes.
absolute legend!
German supporters are great. And that’s coming from a Dutchman.
I am pretty sure Motta was not sent off this game
Great for Schalke, Raul is a legend, but we will defeat them in the semi-final tie.
Is Neuer still interested in switching Schalke for Bayern ?! Bayern are going to sink lower and lower, I’m quite sure about that and I will enjoy it. He should show a bit of loyalty to his boyhood club and stay there, or if he transfers he mustn’t go to any German club, especially not Bayern.
Viva Manchester united !!!!!!
@J: Quite right, don’t know what went on there!
Oh what a fabulous time it is to be a Schalke fan! I’m certain ManUnited will destroy us on the 26th but for now it is pure joy!
And I am glad to see Magath go…I know he was a great coach for many teams but I never liked him for us.
I just wnat Mirko Slomka back… :P
Thank you Chris for the Pies coverage! Much better to see us do well then to read how we’ve choked yet again. *L* Which we are just so good at!
@RedFilip-
It will be heart breaking if our little Manny leaves us!
Gelesenkirchen is a town in very hard times and Manuel is something of an emblem of hope and pride.
I suppose as long as he does not go to Dortmund we will be able to forgive him- after all he gave us all of his youth.
If he felt he absolutely had to go somewhere I wouldn’t mind Arsenal. ;)
I will always be grateful to Mirko Slomka for risking his reputation and giving him the number 1.
Oh I would love it if they beat ManUre
