Previous meetings • Mircea Lucescu's Shakhtar eliminated a Schalke side coached by Ralf Rangnick in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup round of 32, winning 1-0 in Gelsenkirchen after drawing 1-1 in Donetsk. Those are Schalke's only past encounters with Ukrainian opponents. • Shakhtar defender Olexandr Kucher was sent off late on in the first leg on 18 February. • Shakhtar's 17 games against German teams have ended W5 D6 L6 (W2 D1 L5 in Germany). Most famously, they beat Werder Bremen 2-1 in the final of the 2009 UEFA Cup in Istanbul. Form guide • Schalke are unbeaten at home in Europe this season (W2 D1). • Schalke and SSC Napoli conceded a joint low three goals during this season's group stage. • Shakhtar lost all three of their UEFA Champions League group stage away games this season without scoring. They have scored just once in five continental away games this season. • Schalke won the 1996/97 UEFA Cup. The nearest they have come to a second success was reaching the semi- finals in 2005/06. They progressed to the quarter-finals in their most recent attempt, in 2011/12. • This is the third time Shakhtar have reached the round of 32 since they won this competition in 2009 – they have not made it through to the last 16 since that UEFA Cup triumph in Istanbul. Trivia and links • Shakhtar forward Eduardo turns 33 on the day of the game. • Klaas-Jan Huntelaar needs one more goal to reach 50 in UEFA club competition. Thirteen players have achieved that feat so far. The coaches • Lucescu has been in charge at Shakhtar since 2004 and has led the Pitmen to eight Ukrainian titles and five national cups as well as the 2009 UEFA Cup. The one-time striker, 70, has coached in Romania and Italy and won back-to- back Turkish titles with different clubs in the early 2000s. • André Breitenreiter, 42, took over at Schalke in June having led SC Paderborn 07 to promotion in 2013/14, then steered them momentarily to the top of the Bundesliga. An attacking midfielder, he began his career with Hannover 96 and Hamburger SV yet spent the bulk of his playing days in the lower leagues. Penalty shoot-outs • Schalke's record in four UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W2 D2: W 4-1 A v FC Internazionale Milano (1996/97 UEFA Cup final) L 5-4 A v SK Slavia Praha (1998/99 UEFA Cup first round) L 3-1 A v Brøndby IF (2003/04 UEFA Cup second round) W 4-1 A v FC Porto (2007/08 UEFA Champions League round of 16) • Shakhtar lost their only previous UEFA penalty shoot-out: L 4-1 A v Club Brugge KV (2002/03 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 4 FC Schalke 04 - FC Shakhtar Donetsk Thursday 25 February 2016 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Arena AufSchalke, Gelsenkirchen Team facts FC Schalke 04 Formed: 1904 Nickname: S04, Die Königsblauen (The Royal Blues), Die Knappen (The Miners) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup: 1997 • UEFA Intertoto Cup: 2003, 2004 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 7 (1958) German Cup: 5 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2013/14: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2012/13: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2011/12: quarter-finals 2010/11: UEFA Champions League semi-finals 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2007/08: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2006/07: first round 2005/06: semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-1: Schalke v HJK Helsinki 25/08/11, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg 5-0: Schalke v FK Vardar 17/07/04, UEFA Intertoto Cup third round first leg • Biggest away win 0-5: AEK Larnaca FC v Schalke 20/10/11, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-6: Schalke v Real Madrid CF 26/02/14, UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg 0-5: Schalke v Chelsea FC 25/11/14, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Manchester City FC v Schalke 15/04/70, European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final second leg 4-0: Club Atlético de Madrid v Schalke 27/08/08, UEFA Champions League third qualifying round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Schalke v HJK Helsinki (see above) • Biggest away win 0-5: AEK Larnaca FC v Schalke (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Schalke v Wisła Kraków 10/12/02, third round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-2: 1.
