Dejan Stankovic’s screamer of a volley against Schalke

By Brooks Peck

Mere seconds into Inter's Champions League first leg match against Schalke, Dejan Stankovic blasted in the first goal in lovely fashion. Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer charged out of the box to head the ball away and in doing so, he set up Stankovic (who has punished opposing goalkeepers like this before) for a long-range volley from midfield. Stankovic didn't waste the golden chance, smashing the ball into the empty with a shot out of FIFA 11 to put Inter up 1-0.
Underdog Schalke would fight back in stunning fashion, though, winning 5-2. But if Stankovic can just do this a few more times in the second leg, Inter will be right back in it.
