- 87'
Perez smashes one from 25 yards and it's well, well wide.

- 52'
Great run by Muniain into the box from the right, but Schober's first act is to keep out the stabbed effort.
- 51'
It comes back to De Marcos on the left with Uchida caught out of position. De Marcos whips it across the box but nowhere near a team-mate.
- 50'
The corner comes in from the left, it's a decent one just Huntelaar is there in the six yard box to head away.

Schalke have been by far the better side, but Athletic caught them cold. Schalke should press on again after the break.
- 45'
Back to the dive, Raul turned his man on the byline and ran into the box. As soon as he crossed the line he collapsed like a sniper had picked him out from the stand. No penalty, but no yellow card, and Athletic were furious at the dive.

It's Athletic to kick-off in Germany.
The teams are out at the Veltins Arena, Schalke unbeaten in five months on home turf.
Lewis Holtby misses out for Schalke, and is replaced in midfield by Marco Hoger. That is their only change from the team which advanced past FC Twente.
Athletic Bilbao winger Markel Susaeta knows his side <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1041631/susaeta:-we-must-take-chances-at-schalke?cc=5739" target="_blank">cannot afford to waste any chances</a>.
Athletic name the same team which beat Manchester United two weeks ago, with Fernando Llorente proving his fitness at the weekend against Sporting Gijon.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2012/0315/oscardemarcosceleb20120315_275x155.jpg"><br>Oscar de Marcos was impressive as Athletic ousted Man United in the last round.
The winner of this tie with play either Sporting Lisbon or Metalist in the semi-finals.
