However, a certain former Schalke player was a forced to be reckoned with on the pitch. Ivan Rakitic, who spent four years with the Royal Blues between 2007 and 2011, gave an outstanding performance and scored the game’s final goal in injury time. Frankfurt’s Ante Rebic (53’) and Real Madrid’s Luka Modric (80’) netted the first two.
