The other was against Turkish side Besiktas when the game was switched to Schalke’s stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, because of bomb attacks in Istanbul a few weeks earlier.Our two previous matches at the Arena Nationala were both against Steaua Bucharest – a 1-0 defeat in the 2012/13 Europa League round of 16 first leg and a 4-0 victory in the Champions League group stage the following season.Olivier Giroud scored every 28 minutes in this season’s Champions League group stages, the best ratio of any player to score more than one goal.
