Both schalke and koln managed to win today in an away game despite being a huge underdog, koln are already safe from relegation and schalke team managed to escape from the zone for now bulter had a huge role in his team win after scoring two goals one of them was in the extra time giving his team important points.
I am pretty sure, that the win of Schalke 04 means much more to them than the win of Cologne means to themself. I mean Cologne was pretty much 99% safe already before the match happened today so of course now they are totally safe but not that much has changed, but of course a win is always great.
For Schalke on the other hand that win today was very important you just need to take a look at the Bundesliga table to understand how important the win today was. Schalke now went from rank 17 to rank 14. Now all the other clubs that are still fighting to stay in the first Bundesliga are under a huge amount of pressure in the games tomorrow. Schalke can lean back and watch those games. I am sure that at least 2 out of those 3 teams that are now behind schalke will lose points tomorrow.
