Schalke set up a UEFA Champions League semi-final meeting with Manchester United with a 2-1 win over Inter Milan to progress 7-3 on aggregate against the holders.
Raul broke the deadlock right on the stroke of half-time with a fine solo effort as he netted his 71st goal in the Champions League.
Inter drew level on the night five minutes after the break when Thiago Motta bundled the ball home from close-range.
Schalke finished off Inter nine minutes from time when Benedikt Howedes ran clear onto Raul's through-ball to fire past Julio Cesar.
The first half was a cagey affair as the home side seemed happy to soak up Inter pressure and attack when possible.
Samuel Eto'o had to drop deep right from the start of the game to get the ball as Schalke's defence would not give an inch.
