Schalke will beat Real Madrid in Champions League - Boateng

Ghana and Schalke midfielder, Kevin-Boateng, is optimistic that his German club can see off Spanish giants, Real Madrid, when the two teams face-off in the Champions League next week.

Boateng said though it would be difficult to beat Real Madrid, Schalke can achieve the feat if they keep improving.

“We have to take things one game at a time. If we keep playing like we are, I have no doubts at all [that we will qualify],” Boateng told Bundesliga.com.

“It's as simple as that, but we have to put up a fight each weekend, not only with the opposition, but also with ourselves to ensure we maintain our current level of performance.”
