It’s another champions league game with the german club hosting current champions. The two clubs are meeting for the second consecutive champions league season at this stage.
Venue:Veltins Arena
Time:20:45

It was a tragic moment for the current host as they were beaten in both legs in the previous meeting aggregating a total score of 9-2. But this season we expecting a very interesting match as the host will be looking for a revenge on the in-form champions.
Stand out performances could be also expected from Schalke’s Klaas Jan Huntelaar who could be planning a double revenge following its short term spell at Real Madrid and the previous loss they had and world best player Cristiano Ronaldo.
