I am going to the Atletico match on Wednesday. I am normally bad luck for the Blues at the Arena and would normally stay away from such an important match...but I am leaving Germany next month and this is my last chance to visit Europe's greatest football venue.

You guys need to keep a clean sheet in this game more than anything. Good luck again.

You had a couple of excellent chances against Atletico already (20'), really should have used at least one of them. On this level, it could come back to haunt you.

Hah! Pander scores a brilliant free kick! Typical Pander goal!

Schalke - Atletico 1:0 HT

Schalke looking good, dominating the match and creating quite a few chances. Should have used them better though. They should continue like this in the second half, the Atletico defence looks rather vulnerable, so a few more goals should be doable. Keeping a clean sheet will be important though.

A few minutes before Pander scored I thought to myself that Schalke look like my Bundesliga title favourites for this season.

But I'm just a random fool so don't consider it a curse.

It's still Schalke Projekt4

Atletico looking better in the second half, don't bottle it now!

Schalke - Atletico 1:0 FT

Atletico was stronger in the second half, but Schalke should have scored a second goal after Atletico went down to ten men in the end of the match. Should have been more active in general, but whatever, you won the match and kept a clean sheet. Good luck in Madrid.

I have a feeling this will go down exactly like the Porto tie last season
