10.03.2011 Magath: We were lucky and Manuel Noyer

Schalke 04 coach Felix Magath admitted that his team had great luck and Manuel Noyer, in order to eliminate Valencia. In a rematch of 1/8-finalite of broadband "Miners won with 3:1 (1:1 in the first meeting).

"The results of our first game prevented. We were not aggressive enough, allowing the opponent to control the game. It would be better if the third goal, courtesy of Farfán in 90 minutes, was introduced earlier.

Similar meetings in the Champions League, where you get all or nothing, are very annoying. After 1:1 in Spain we are ranked first. It was hard to put pressure on the opponent from the outset. In 0:0 we can not afford to miss, because anyway we kept.

Valencia did not stop to bother us and at one time had very serious problems. I can say that luck and Manuel Noyer underlie not otpadnem. These are the two things that we were needed to qualify for the next phase. There will be more difficult, but now is the time to comment, "said Magath.
