May 4, 2011, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Feltings Arena.

Today's fixture here is the second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals, between Schalke 04 at home and Borussia Dortmund away.

The starting line-ups for both sides today are as follows:

Home team: Schalke 04, manager: Magath, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer

Back four [from left to right]: Escudero, Hevedes, Joel Matip and Atsuto Uchida

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller

Back four [from left to right]: Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Grosskreutz, Bender, Shaheen and Blaschikowski

Twin strikers: Gu Zhen and Gotze

This is the starting list of both sides today, Dortmund side is maintaining their original lineup, and it is really in line with Klopp's character and approach, he just rarely rotates. The main main players are not injured, and almost all of them have to start.

On the other hand, Schalke 04 has changed a lot, and almost every line has been replaced, which is very different from the first leg between the two sides.

Schalke 04 coach Magath replaced Metzelde with Hevedes, Baumjohn with Draxler, Edu with Huntelaar and Sarpe with Escudero.

It can be seen that Magath has some opinions about the team's performance in the first leg.

Of course, Schalke 04's lineup is obviously more offensive, and Escudero, Draxler and Huntelaar are named after them to strengthen the attack.

Magath now waved his fists and motioned for the Schalke 04 players to attack.

At the beginning of the game, Schalke 04 took advantage of the home field and attacked wildly.

"Here, the attack of Schalke 04 is coming, they are fierce and strong!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of the CCTV Sports Channel, said immediately.

In the stadium, after the players of Schalke 04 passed the ball in the midfield, suddenly Draxler in the midfield made a long pass and directly found Huntelaar in the front.

Dutch striker Huntelaar's fulcrum ability is still very strong, and he jumps very high, which is really worthy of the name of Brother Monkey.

Huntelaar jumped straight up, shook his head at the ball, and threw the football directly to Raul, who was following him.

Raul easily stopped the football, and the Schalke 04 fans at the scene were immediately excited to the extreme, screaming wildly.

However, as soon as Raul took control of the football, Dortmund's defender Bender posted up.

Bender's defense was very timely.

Gu Zhen immediately applauded, Bender's defense was really too timely, and he didn't give Raul any chance.

Don't look at Raul's age, his strength is still very strong.

Raul is now the top scorer in the Champions League, and he is a monster. Before the game, Dortmund's coach Jurgen Klopp reminded Dortmund's players that they must pay attention to defending Raul and not give Raul a chance.

Raul glanced at Bend beside him, preparing to break through.

At this moment, Draxler on the side rushed up, waved his hand directly and said, "This way, I'm already in place!" ”

Raul made a direct diagonal pass to Draxler, who cut in forward.

Draxler thrust forward as he watched the ball roll over. He didn't stop the ball, and he crossed directly and quickly passed the ball into the Dortmund penalty area.

"Wow, an unexpected cross, Draxler's non-stop cross was unexpected by many people, it was dangerous!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, shouted excitedly.

The ball flew into the Dortmund penalty area, where Huntelaar jumped high and smashed the ball headlong into the Dortmund goal.

In front of goal, Weidenfeller pounced sharply sideways and extended his right arm.

"Toooo......oo

'Beautiful, the game has just started and the home team Schalke 04 have already scored, they have scored past Borussia Dortmund and pulled a goal back. It's really surprising that Schalke 04's goal came so quickly, Dortmund is in danger! Xu Yang said immediately.

The Schalke 04 fans at the scene were screaming with excitement.

"Who Tamar's said that we Schalke 04 can't work? Whoever said it, stand up for Lao Tzu! "The fans of Schalke 04 are really excited, so excited, and they all feel very relieved.

Who would dare to say that we Schalke 04 have no chance and can't win?

The fans of Schalke 04 are really happy, they are very excited, they are about to jump, they see an opportunity in this game, they Schalke 04 have a chance to win.

Dortmund fans gasped and were still a little nervous.

What Schalke 04 showed in this game still surprised them a little, and it can be seen that Schalke 04 is not without strength, and it is not that they cannot win suddenly. So, at this time, they Dortmund people have to go all out.

Borussia Dortmund fans immediately cheered on their players, hoping that the Dortmund players would get serious and not give Schalke 04 any chance.

1-0, Schalke 04, who were playing at home, took the lead.

It was Huntelaar who scored the goal, and it is clear from here that Magath's personnel change was successful. Draxler's cross and Huntelaar scored, all of which he didn't play in the previous leg. It seems that the Schalke 04 had reservations in the last round, and now they are going all out, and the Dortmund are in danger.

Jurgen Klopp came to the sidelines, frowning and staring into the pitch.

Truth be told, Schalke 04's performance today was beyond Klopp's expectations. But it's not that I didn't expect it at all, Schalke 04 is strong, Klopp knows this, but he didn't expect their goals to come so quickly.

Klopp immediately reminded the players in the stadium: "Xiao Gu! Step up the offense, put pressure on them, and don't let them attack easily! ”

Gu Zhen in the stadium bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

Of course, the performance of Schalke 04 today was also a little surprising to Gu Zhen, he didn't expect Schalke 04 to perform so well today, and scored as soon as he came up, this is simply a dream start!

Of course, it is still their Dortmund team that is leading now.

However, now that the lead is not big, Dortmund really can't afford to concede any more goals. Gu Zhen immediately waved his hand and signaled the Dortmund players to hurry forward and put pressure on Schalke 04.

If Schalke 04 is completely free of pressure and just attacks like this, you will be very dangerous for the Dortmund fans.

Gu Zhen immediately stepped forward and saw the vacancy.

But as soon as Gu Zhen rushed out, Schalke 04's midfielder Papadopoulos hit him directly and knocked Gu Zhen to the ground.

The referee immediately blew the whistle for a foul, and Papadopoulos did not punish anything.

Gu Zhen was a little speechless, this should be a card!

But the referee didn't pay attention to it at all, and Gu Zhen knew that this was the referee's home whistle for this game. Of course, he also understood that the referee's whistle in this game was loose. Therefore, he immediately turned around and reminded his teammates, saying: "Attention, the action can be a little bigger, don't be afraid, the referee is a soft egg!" ”

Fortunately, the referee was not on the side, otherwise, Gu Zhen would definitely be sent off with a red card.

Borussia Dortmund were awarded a free-kick, but it was a long way from goal. So, Borussia Dortmund didn't choose to shoot straight at goal, the ball was pushed to the wing.

Blaschikowski, who was on the wing, went straight after the ball and pretended to cross, but instead pushed the ball back. Piszczek, who followed up, crossed directly with his feet, and the ball flew into the Schalke 04 penalty area at high speed.

In the penalty area, Gu Zhen rushed out, rushed forward, and directly shook his head to attack the goal.

The football flew towards the goal of Schalke 04 at a rapid pace, and the fans of Schalke 04 were instantly nervous, their eyes wide and frightened.

With a snap, Neuer pounced directly sideways and slapped the football out of the bottom line with one palm.

"Oops! It's Neuer again, Gu Zhen's header is already very powerful, but Neuer is still a guy who pounces on the football. It's really a tough guy to deal with, Dortmund want to beat Schalke 04, it's very difficult! Duan Xuan was very speechless.

Neuer, this guy is really too strong!

After Gu Zhen got up, he also turned his head to look at Neuer, this Neuer is really strong. If it were another goalkeeper, Gu Zhen's goals in these two games would be at least four, right?

Gu Zhen is in good shape, and Neuer is in even better shape.

Ge Ce immediately walked over, pulled Gu Zhen up, and patted him. Gu Zhen immediately said: "It's okay, get ready to attack, I don't believe this guy will always be so powerful!" ”

Gotze immediately bowed his head, indicating that he knew.

Corner, Dortmund got a corner kick opportunity, Schalke 04 fans are very nervous. These fans all shouted loudly: "Keep an eye on Gu Zhen, don't give that Chinese guy any chance, kill him!" ”

The fans of Schalke 04 are really very nervous and very worried.

At that moment, Blaschikowski glanced up at Schalke 04's box, and then he made a run and fired a hard shot into the ball.

The ball flew into the Schalke 04 penalty area at high speed and raced towards the back post.

With a bang, Matip pushed the football out of the penalty area, but the football flew to the feet of Bender at the edge of the penalty area, and Bender didn't say a word, he shot directly and hit the football fiercely, and the football whistled and flew towards the goal of Schalke 04.

"Burst!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, roared excitedly.

All the Schalke 04 fans at the scene had blue faces, their eyes were staring at the flying football, and their mood was extremely nervous.

In front of the goal, Neuer took two steps sideways, then bounced out and pounced on the top right corner of the goal!

"Neuer! Neuer is here again, can he pounce? Duan Xuan immediately roared nervously.
