Valencia vs. Schalke – 2nd Leg

March 10 @ Schalke vs. Valencia (Live)
March 10 @ 12NN Schalke vs. Valencia (Replay)

Will Champions League record goal scorer, Raul, work his magic and score enough goals for them to proceed to the Quarter Finals? 

Wouldn’t it be interesting for Schalke and Raul’s former team, Real Madrid play against each other? (and Schalke winning because of Raul’s goals?  …that would be something)



Valencia: 1
Schalke: 1

For the win:
Valencia
should score at least one point more than Schalke
except for 0-0, a draw can qualify them to the next round


Schalke
with the 1st leg ending in a 1-1 draw, Schalke (like Valencia) should score at least one point more than Valencia
a 0-0 draw can advance them to the next stage

Stadium: Arena AufSchalke (Schalke’s Home Turf)

Highlighted in yellow means that that team will will proceed to the Quarter finals.  Pink means the aggregate score as well as the number of away goals is a tie, so I dunno if they'll do extra time, shoot out or coin toss...
