Bojan snatches away win for Barca

BARCELONA took a significant step towards the semi-finals of the Champions League with a hard-fought win over Schalke in Gelsenkirchen.

Bojan Krkic scored the only goal of the game in the 12th minute, earning Frank Rijkaard’s side an important away goal on top of the slender lead they take into the second leg.

Schalke were outplayed in the first half before coming to life in the second, but they were unable to find a goal, leaving them a mountain to climb at the Nou Camp next week.
