Manchester City vs. Schalke: Match Preview

Schalke have struggled as of late to find any kind of good form, losing six of their eight matches since the start of February and being outscored 20-9 during that stretch. Meanwhile, Manchester City have only lost five matches out of 46 total throughout the season and have outscored their opponents 116-25.

It was a rollercoaster of a first leg, with Sergio Aguero and City capitalizing on a Schalke error in the 18th minute to take the lead. Schalke's Nabil Bentaleb helped the home side roar back by converting two first half penalties to give the German team a surprising 2-1 lead at halftime. It was City's night however, as former Schalke prospect turned Manchester City star Leroy Sane scored a miraculous free kick late to level it.

Raheem Sterling's finish in the 90th minute put the Cityzens ahead for good and gave them an aggregate lead heading into the second leg.

According to a report from Bild, Schalke manager Domenico Tedesco appears to be feeling the pressure to keep his job and plans on fielding a "B-team" in the second leg rather than their usual starters to avoid "physical and psychological damage" that could seal his fate with the club.  

If there's been one bright spot for Schalke as of late, it's the play of Weston McKennie since returning from a muscle injury last week. The American picked up an assist in his first start since the first leg against City. U.S. Men's National Team supporters will hope to see the Texas native in action on Tuesday.
