Venue: Veltins-Arena, Gelserkinchen
Competition: UEFA Champions League Semifinal (1st Leg)
Ralf Rangnick's side are the 'outsiders' of the competition, as nobody expected them in the semi-finals. Gelsenkirchen side surpassed Inter Milan in the quarter-finals at San Siro 5-2 and Veltins-Arena 2-1 to advance with an aggregate 7-3. Previously, in the Round of 16, the victim was the Spanish squad Valencia, whom was defeated by Schalke 3-1 at home after the Mestalla side was only capable to draw 1-1. However, Schalke are not coming doing a good campaign in the 1.Bundesliga, in which they are 10th with 29 points adrift to the Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund. In fact, in their last match, Schalke fell down defeated 0-1 at home to Kaiserslautern.Date: Tuesday, 26th April, 2011

Their best weapon is, undoubtedly, former Real Madrid striker, Raul Gonzalez, who is one of the top scorers of Champions League of all history. The goalkeeper Neuer is almost unbeatable while Edu and Matip are key players, also. In the defence, Germany selection player, Metzelder is featured by his physical strength. Benedikt Hoewedes will miss the match due to an abdominal injury. Midfielders Peer Kluge and Kyriakos Papadopoulos are both available. The destabilizing Peruvian winger Farfan, who was key against Valencia in the knockout stages, will likely start from the bench unless Rangnick decides otherwise (Matip starting from the bench).
Schalke (4-4-2): Neuer; Uchida, Metzelder, Howedes, Sarpei; Baumjohann, Matip (or Farfan), Papadopoulos, Jurado; Edu, Raul.
On the other side, Manchester United are overwhelming favourites to book a blockbuster Wembley with either Real Madrid or Barcelona on May 28. The Red Devils were finalists just two seasons ago against Barcelona and were the Champions league winners against Chelsea on 2007/2008. At the same time, Alex Ferguson’s side are the current Premier League leaders with six points clear of Carlo Ancelotti's side.
United are coming doing a great campaign after a mediocre starting, winning 21 matches, 10 draws and only 3 defeats. The only lunar of Ferguson's team this season have been the 1-0 defeat against their arch-rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup Semifinal. Except for this, Old Trafford' team have signed an almost perfect performance.
Manchester United’ performance In Champions League:
Marseille 0-0 Manchester United / Manchester United 2-1 Marseille (Round of 16)
Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United / Manchester United 2-1 Chelsea (Quarter-Finals)
Berbatov is still hampered by the groin strain which caused him to miss Saturday's league win over Everton. Chicharito Hernandez and Wayne Rooney will be in the attack. Captain Nemanja Vidic and midfielder Park Ji-Sung were rested against Everton and are expected to return to the side. Patrice Evra and Ryan Giggs were also rested and should return to the squad. Darren Fletcher is still to return to full fitness after a virus. United are yet to concede away from home in this Champions League and if they manage to keep out Schalke in Germany it will mean that Edwin van der Sar will become the first goalkeeper in the competition’s history to achieve 50 clean sheets.
Manchester United (4-4-2): Van der Sar; Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-Sung; WayneRooney, Chicharito Hernandez.
