Europe Championship Match

          Raúl in raptures as Schalke roll on

A scorer and provider on the night, Raúl González said it was "hugely satisfying" to have helped FC Schalke 04 reach the semi-finals by beating FC Internazionale Milano 7-3 on aggregate.

After scoring the first goal and creating the second to help FC Schalke 04 seal a 2-1 second-leg win against holders FC Internazionale Milano, Raúl González said it was "hugely satisfying" to be part of a side through to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time.
Although a three-time winner of the famous trophy, Raúl had not reached the last four of the competition in eight years. Like his former club Real Madrid CF, however, the striker – who left the Liga giants last summer – is now back at the tournament's business end after turning in a display that earned him the Player Rater Top Player honours on UEFA.com.
