  • Galatasaray reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2001 after a thrilling 4-3 aggregate win over Schalke. Schalke had taken the lead through Neustadter but their former player, Altintop, and tournament joint top goalscorer Yilmaz hit back in the space of five minutes. Bastos then equalised in the second half to give Schalke hope of a dramatic comeback but Gala substitute Bulut settled the tie in stoppage time. Stay with us for all the post-match reaction.

  • FULL-TIME: SCHALKE 2 GALATASARAY 3 (3-4)

  • With Schalke charging forward, Gala break forward and have a three-on-one advantage. Bulut goes clean through on Hildebrand and after his first effort is blocked he goes around the goalkeeper to roll into the open goal. That is game over.

  • GOAL BULUT (2-3 AGG: 3-4)

    90 + 5
  • Kolasinac is booked for a foul on Drogba

    90 + 4
  • This would be a wonderful achievement if Gala can hold on. They have not reached the quarter-finals in more than a decade.

    90 + 3
  • Farfan sends a volley rocketing across the penalty area. Gala just about hold on before they win a free-kick in their own penalty area.

    90 + 2
  • Schalke are throwing everything they have at Gala but there are a lack of blue shirts in the box.

    90 +1
  • ADDED TIME: There will be a minimum of five additional minutes before the final whistle.

    90
  • Fuchs wins Schalke another corner as we enter stoppage time. It is a poor delivery and volleyed clear by Inan at the near post.

    90
  • Farfan's delivery is towards the penalty spot but Melo heads away. Gala look to break but Amrabat is offside.

    89
  • Free-kick to Schalke on the left corner of the Gala box. Farfan is over the ball.

    88
  • Schalke are now getting desperate. Uchida crosses into the box but Bastos' volley is straight at Muslera.

    87
  • Schalke send on Meyer and Obasi in place of Hoger and Pukki. Gala replace Yilmaz with Bulut.

  • Drogba is booked for a challenge from behind on Neustadter

  • Amrabat has caused a few problems since coming on. He cuts in from the left and prods an effort at the near post which Hildebrand has to save.

    84
  • The break in play seems to have disrupted Schalke's rhythm and they have gone a bit flay. Gala are getting ready to make another substitution.

    83
  • Pukki has improved in the second half. But he is still nowhere near the player of the standard of Huntelaar.

    82
  • Schalke could have just one decent chance left in these closing minutes. They need it to fall to the right man and that, at the moment, is Draxler.

    81
  • The game is back under way and Schalke remain on the attack. They have 10 minutes plus stoppage time to find the goal they need to reach the quarter-finals.
