Schalke 04's preparations for Wednesday's away clash in the Champions League against Turkish champions Galatasaray are in full swing.





The game will be played at the Türk Telekom Stadium in Istanbul - an arena known for its heated atmosphere and extreme noise level - and Schalke 04 coach Domenico Tedesco has done his best to prepare his players for the experience that awaits them.



On Monday, Tedesco surprised his squad by blasting out recorded sound of the Galatasaray fans chanting during training at the club's home ground.



"We watched some of Galatasaray's games, cut out some sequences and used the stadium speakers to play the sound," Tedesco told Kicker.



Schalke 04 striker Guido Burgstaller admitted the initiative took him by surprise.



"Everyone thought the stadium roof would fly off. It was a bit uncomfortable after a while, but now everyone has got a first impression of how things will be there," Burgstaller said.



Wednesday's game at the Türk Telekom Arena kicks off at 21:00 (UTC+2).
