“Schalke showed they have character and the mentality to offer a real spectacle,” said Schalke coach Domenico Tedesco.
Schalke, who are unbeaten since September, are third in the table, three points ahead of fourth-placed Dortmund, and five behind leaders Bayern Munich, who play later at Borussia Moenchengladbach.
