Unbelievably, the back and forth between the two teams has stopped, and it’s all Schalke in the second half. Inter Milan are absolutely falling apart, and the visitors now have a 4-2 lead thanks to an own goal by young defender Andrea Ranocchia, who is having an absolute nightmare of a game. To be fair, he’s not alone, as the entire Inter back line has been absolutely terrible, and Schalke have been made to look spectacular while turning in what is probably just a slightly above average performance.

The own goal came just four minutes after Raul’s goal that put Schalke ahead, in the 57th minute. Jefferson Farfan does not have a goal in this game, but he was influential yet again, as he whipped in a low cross from the right hand side. It was possible that Edu or Raul would have reached the ball, but Ranocchia certainly didn’t have to make the desperate lunge that he did. There’s no taking it back now, and Schalke are up by two goals and still dominating. Inter have been unbelievably poor in the second half and seriously need to sort themselves out.
