Schalke have won four out of four in the competition in Gelsenkirchen and have never lost a tie in UEFA competition after winning the first leg away, though Leonardo's Inter won at FC Bayern München in the last round. The holders will need to better even that feat this time having gone down at San Siro despite taking the lead twice. Goals from Dejan Stanković () and Diego Milito () were cancelled out by Joel Matip () and Edu (0) before Schalke took control in the second half, Raúl González (), an Andrea Ranocchia own goal () and Edu () completing a memorable victory.
