This vintage 04 FC Schalke home football shirt in blue by Adidas recalls a remarkable Bundesliga season. Despite a rocky start and the dismissal of manager Jupp Heynckes, Schalke, under the guidance of the relatively unknown Ralf Rangnick, challenged title favorites Bayern Munich. A decisive 1–0 victory, highlighted by Lincoln’s goal, briefly put Schalke level with Bayern. Although Bayern eventually pulled ahead by 14 points, Schalke secured second place, earning a spot in the Champions League. This shirt embodies a memorable chapter in the club’s history.
