FC Schalke 04 are back in the Bundesliga. Hardly any other club in Germany draws such huge crowds as the ‘Königsblau’. The club electrifies the Ruhr region. After spending the last two years in the 2. Bundesliga, this club – known for its down-to-earth, hard-working spirit – is keen to prove that, as well as having the numbers, it also has the quality needed to hold its own in the top flight.
