Real Madrid looked exceptional in the first leg scoring 6 away goals and while Schalke probably under-performed, Real Madrid were simply too strong for them in all departments. This could be another high-scoring tie with Schalke having nothing to lose other than pride and so we may see two very attacking line-ups and exciting game of football. Ultimately Real Madrid should have enough quality despite injuries and players who won’t be starting (Bale, Di Maria, Khedira, Benzema, Marcelo and Dani Carvajal).
