Last week about 60,000 fans filled Schalke’s home ground for the game against Dortmund. This wouldn’t normally be surprising except that it was an away game.

Oh dear!
If Schalke can win this weekend, they will have one hand on the trophy, (or indeed be crowned champions if Stuttgart lose and Bremen don’t win). But to win they have to travel to their bitter rivals Dortmund. If ever there was a game to spark the imagination, this is it. continue reading
