Internazionale vs Schalke Live Stream | UEFA Quarter Finals on April 5, 2011 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan (ITA)
After ousting FC Bayern München in dramatic fashion in the round of 16, UEFA Champions League holders FC Internazionale Milano now face another Bundesliga side, FC Schalke 04, in a rematch of the 1997 UEFA Cup final.
Schalke emerged victorious then, prevailing 4-1 on penalties at San Siro after each team had won 1-0 at home. This great stadium holds less happy memories for the visitors' new coach, Ralf Rangnick, however, as it was here that his Schalke team suffered UEFA Champions League group stage elimination via a 3-2 defeat by AC Milan in December 2005 – his last game in European competition.
Inter are bidding to become the first team to successfully defend the European crown in the UEFA Champions League era. This is their 12th quarter-final appearance and they have won eight of their previous 11.
Schalke, by contrast, are hoping to make it to their first semi-final after previous defeats at this stage in 1958/59 and 2007/08.
Inter will look to get back to winning ways at San Siro after going down 1-0 to Bayern in the last round, a defeat they reversed with a 3-2 second-leg victory in Bavaria. They had previously won seven consecutive home games in the UEFA Champions League, including a 4-0 success against Germany's SV Werder Bremen in the group stage.
