Raul proves that he still got it, scoring the 1st goal of the match. With brilliant ball control, he beat the goalkeeper and netted in his 71st Champions League goal. Throughout the match, he posed quite a threat to Inter’s defense and goalie. He was either making shots or setting them up.

Inter's Lucio tried to convert with a header the corner kick from Sneijder. But the ball deflected onto a Schalke player (sorry, couldn't tell who it was) and Thiago Motta was just in the right place to give the ball a tap to score the equalizer.

Raul sets up Schalke's 2nd goal. He definitely is still an attacking force to reckon with. photo from uefa.com |
But then Schalke ended any of Inter’s hope of even just trying to salvage some pride from a 5-2 defeat in the 1st leg when Raul, executed a clever move of chipping the ball forward, giving Howedes the chance to break away and score their 2nd goal.
Schalke moves to next round and faces Manchester United. Speaking of Man U, Sir Alex Ferguson was seen watching the Inter Milan-Schalke game at the stands. I guess he we sizing up his next opponent.
