Schalke eye San Siro glory after seeing off PSV
FRANKFURT, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Schalke 04 believe they have nothing to fear as they look ahead to their final Champions League Group game away to AC Milan next month.
Schalke have revived their European campaign in the last two home games, beating Fenerbahce 2-0 and PSV Eindhoven 3-0 to move level with Group E leaders Milan on eight points.
They will probably need a high-scoring draw or a victory at the San Siro to seal a place in the last 16 and the players are looking forward to the challenge, with a UEFA Cup place already assured as back-up.
"We've reached our minimum target by making certain of a place in the UEFA Cup but now what we want is to make the next round of the Champions League," said goalkeeper Frank Rost. "We've shown that we play better when we're under pressure, while Milan have shown nerves in this competition. Besides, it's a highlight for every player to be able to run out at the wonderful San Siro."
PSV remain well placed to make the knockout phase with seven points and a home game against eliminated Fenerbahce to come.
A draw or even a defeat could be enough for Schalke, depending on the result of PSV's final game, but the players will not expect any favours.
"We should play for a win and we know we can win," said Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen. "I think the PSV game proved that we can play against the best sides in Europe."

Is this guy arrogant or what? I wasnt trying to be "tread starter of the year" but he pissed me off soooo much, that I had to vent..and where better to vent than my favourite forum?
We need to put "Poulsen the Poleaxer" in his place, by trouncing the Germans like how we did Fener.
It will be a closely contested game, and one which we should play as we usually do, by going for the win. They are a talented bunch, but as most of our previous match with them this season showed, we are a class above them in most regards.
We can and should crush them like the blue jersey wearing cockroaches that they are!
FORZA MIIILAN!!!
