FC Schalke 04 - 2013/2014
Eintracht Braunschweig 1:2 FC Schalke 04

FC SCHALKE 04
Hi and welcome to my Schalke story! I will be taking control of Schalke and will attempt to make them once again the superpower in Germany as in the 1950's, overtaking the mighty Bavarian power that is FC Bayern Muenchen.
