Thomas Reis: It’s not exactly easy, but it’s not impossible either

Going up against a strong opponent with new found confidence: the Royal Blues welcome Bayern Munich into the VELTINS-Arena in the Bundesliga’s Topspiel on Saturday evening (18:30 CET, 12.11).

Thomas Reis: We want to show in every challenge that we want this game

FC Schalke 04 will want to build on the decent performance away to Werder last matchday when they host 1. FSV Mainz 05 at the VELTINS-Arena on Wednesday evening (9/11, 20:30 CET). Unlike in Bremen though, the Royal Blues want to take points from this game.

Alex Král: It was a step in the right direction

Alongside Werder Bremen’s Romano Schmid, Alex Král was the fastest player on the pitch during Saturday’s match (05.11). The Czech was always involved in the action, showed lots of drive to get in front of goal and was almost able to celebrate his first goal in a Schalke 04 shirt. He was able to enjoy his 17th minute goal briefly before it was ruled out due to Kenan Karaman, who provided the assist, being in an offside position in the build up.
