Schalke striker Raul is adamant that everything is possible in the second-leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The former Real Madrid’s star\u2019s comments come after the German side were defeated 2-0 by United at the Veltins Arena on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

However, Raul, who has won the Champions League on three occasions with Madrid, believes that the German outfit can still reach the final of Europe’s elite club competition.<\/p>\n

“In the return leg, everything is possible. We do not know what will happen, a penalty to us, a sending off for them Manchester United. Nothing is impossible in football,” the 33-year-old told reporters after the match.<\/p>\n

“We expected a different result, another outcome to the game, but we are still happy because we played to our level. The problem was that Manchester United played at another level.<\/p>\n

“The only regrets we have are that we did not create enough scoring chances and that we conceded two goals in two minutes. Reaching the semi-finals for this club has given the supporters a great sense of pride. We tried everything, the fans realise this, and we were warmly applauded after the game.<\/p>\n

The second-leg could be Raul’s last match in the competition with Schalke currently 10th in the Bundesliga and out of the running for a Champions League spot. However, the striker is not upset about this possible prospect.<\/p>\n

“To play my last Champions League game at Old Trafford? It would not hurt,\u201d the Spaniard stated. \u201cWe really want to finish showing our qualities and giving a good image of ourselves against a big side in a big stadium with a brilliant atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
