Raul: 'Schalke 04 will not roll over'

Former Spain striker Raul predicts a close last-16 Champions League two-legged affair between two of his former clubs, Schalke 04 and Real Madrid.

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 16 February 2015

Former Spain striker Raul has expressed his belief that Real Madrid will find Schalke 04 to be a tough opponent in the last 16 of the Champions League.

However, the New York Cosmos forward, who has played for both clubs, did admit that Los Blancos are the favourites.

"On paper it looks easy for Madrid," Raul told Kicker. "But they must overcome everything on the pitch. Schalke will give everything to spoil the party."

"For sure Schalke will not be such pushovers again."

The two teams met at this stage of the Champions League last season, with Real Madrid, who went on to win the competition, running out 9-2 winners on aggregate.
