Reigning European champions Internazionale welcome German side Schalke to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

There goes the final whistle! And it's a famous 5-2 victory for Schalke! What a game! Brilliant for the German side, but that was an abject performance in the end by Inter!

We're heading into injury time at the end of this sensational encounter.

Off goes Raul now as Karimi comes on. Great performance from the Spaniard.

Sneijder fires on target with an attempted curler from outside the box but again it's easy for Neuer.

Here comes another Schalke change: Draxler on for Jurado.

Sneijder delivers a decent enough free-kick and Cordoba rises to meet it! But it's a comfortable save for Neuer!

Ten minutes left and the best Inter can hope for now is to pull a goal back. But it doesn't look good.

Changes for either side now: Baumjohann off, Schmitz on for Schalke and Nagatomo on for Inter at the expense of Thiago Motta.

GOAL! Edu lashes in from the edge of the box and Schalke have five! Joy for the German side, absolute despair for Inter!

Ooh! Farfan hits the post after yet more comedic defending from Inter! It's so easy for Schalke! In the end Ranocchia saves the day and the ball bounces off the post, but surely another one isn't far off....

Schalke break down to the other end, where Edu tries to muscle his way in on goal! He does well, but he's off balance when he shoots and the ball sails into the stands.

The corner comes over from Sneijder but nothing comes of it.

Eto'o too is doing his best to drag Inter back into this one... he wins Inter's fourth corner of the evening.

Milito runs across the face of the penalty box but his shot is blocked.

Inter still have hope though as they go forward looking to pull one back.

Inter have an absolute mountain to climb now. If the scores stay the same, they'll need to win 3-0 away from home in a fortnight.

Papadopoulos goes into the book now.

Off the post by Jurado! He lashes on target from the edge of the area and with Julio Cesar sprawling is only denied by the upright! So close to a fifth for Schalke! Inter are rocking!

It's just going from bad to worse for Inter here... two goals down and a man down.

Inter boss Leonardo makes a quick reshuffle, bringing on Cordoba for Kharja.
