Schalke fans not happy despite qualification joy

Schalke have reached the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League, but their progress to the knock-out stages did not stop travelling fans booing their team’s dismal 3-1 defeat at Porto. Lokomotiv Moscow’s 2-0 win over Galatasary meant Schalke were already through before they faced Porto on Wednesday, but despite qualification being secured their supporters were not happy. “It’s hard for us when the fans are upset, but we need to understand their reasons,” said defensive midfielder Omar Mascarell of the reaction.
