FC Schalke 04 vs Borussia Dortmund Live preview :

The year 1958 hangs around the necks of Schalke 04 like a millstone. That was the year that the Royal Blues won their seventh and final German national league title, beating Hamburger SV 3-0 in the final of the German Championship.

That triumph came five years before the Bundesliga as it is today was introduced, and the 50-year wait for their eighth title is becoming more and more of a burden for the fans and players of the club.

Schalke are a ‘big club’. They are one of the best supported teams in Germany, and the Veltins Arena is regularly home to a 60,000-plus sell-out crowd. Not bad for a club who haven’t won the league in over 50 years.

Financially backed by the Russian energy giants Gazprom, the German club receive around €25 million per season, putting them second only to Bayern Munich, whose deal with Deutsche Telekom eclipses the investment.
