Titolo: Arsenal Champion (gli avversari)

FC Schalke 04 were one of the giants of German football in the 1930's,
winning six Bundesliga titles and one Cup between 1933 and 1942. They
failed to reach those heights again in the following years, winning only
one Bundesliga title and one Cup until 1997 when they won the UEFA Cup.
Currently on the rise again, they won the German Cup in 2000/01 and
qualified for the Champions League by finishing second in the Bundesliga.

Arsenal and
Greek runners-up Pananthinaikos met as recently as 1998. The two teams were
paired together at the same stage of the 1998 Champions League with the
Gunners emerging on top. Arsenal won the first of the two games 2-1 at our
then European home, Wembley. Before a remarkable 3-1 away win in Greece saw
us narrowly miss out on qualification to the next round. Panathinaikos once
reached the final of the European Cup, losing 2-0 to Ajax in 1971.

In all this mess, you made a big mistake: Schalke 04 is not from Schalke,
but from Gelserkirchen instead...:) (and, of course, Real Mallorca is from
Palma de Mallorca...).
Alla prossima Sergio
