📸 City of a thousand fires: impressive fan display at Schalke

After there was once again a protest boycott against political plans during the top match of the 2. Bundesliga between Schalke and Paderborn, things got really loud again after about 12 minutes. The fans of the Royal Blues then unveiled their mega-choreography.

With this support behind them, the Schalke players will give everything to make the top match a success.
