The quarterfinals are upon us and to kick it off we will have this live commentary and play by play UEFA Champions League match between Schalke 04 and Barcelona in the massive Arena AufSchalke for the first leg tie between the two sides which might produce a massive shock in European football as the Catalan giants are in the throes of a dismal run of form which culminated in a shameful display on Sunday where after having gone two goals up before the break, they fell victim to a classic smash and grab by Real Betis and lost to a sucker punch three two defeat although much must be said of Barcelona’s lengthening injury list which has seen the likes of Messi, Ronaldinho and Deco missing but there is enough quality left in the side to still steamroll over most teams and the fit players are just not pulling their weight enough to win games which has also seen manager Frank Rijkaard a really weak manager by not stamping his authority on any ill disciplined or under performing players.

The home side will be eager to get this live commentary and radio broadcast UEFA Champions League soccer match between Schalke 04 and Barcelona in Germany going as they believe the circumstances are right for them to beat the Spanish side and put themselves in the driving seat to reach the semi finals. Manager Mirko Slomka has presided over a recent run of good form by his team which has seen them in a resurgent challenge for the Bundesliga title and reaching the lofty heights of third place in the table. Slomka believes his side’s strong defence will be key to the tie and has called for his players to stand up strong and tall against Barcelona’s potent forward line. He will also be targeting the stuttering defence of the Spanish giants and is hopeful to secure a few goals in this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match between Schalke 04 and Barcelona to bring to their second leg meeting at the Nou Camp where they know they will be under intense pressure throughout the course of the game so even two goals might not be sufficient given those circumstances.

There should be many goals in this live commentary and live streaming radio broadcast UEFA Champions League soccer match between Schalke 04 and Barcelona at the Arena AufSchalke as Barcelona is absolutely reeling from their prima donna players and there is intense indiscipline which has been going on for about two seasons now and Rijkaard is obviously not the right manager to deal with it as he is all about playing on the field but has no handle on his star players who have all turned lazy and expect results to come their way just because of their talent. On the opposite side, Schalke players will work hard for a result and perhaps this will be the day when effort triumphs over talent in this live commentary and live streaming TV telecast Champions League soccer game between Schalke 04 and Barcelona as it is obvious now that Ronaldinho is all about partying and excesses and he has lost his passion and interest in the game. You cannot simply just smile throughout games and hope that you will continue to be charming, especially if your team is losing and you are not putting in an effort to work hard to turn things round as is the case with the Brazilian now. If Chelsea buys Ronaldinho, it would also be the beginning of the end for them.
