"Iker Casillas is a role model for many people - and for me as well. He's a goalkeeper who has shaped football. I look forward to seeing him again, and I will certainly swap shirts with him," Fährmann said at a press conference today according to Schalke's Twitter profile.
After losing the first three Bundesliga games of the season, Fährmann says Schalke are adamant to get a positive result out of tomorrow's game.
"We're really excited for the opening game. The team earned the right to play here last season, and everyone is looking forward to it. We want a positive result tomorrow," he said.
Schalke and FC Porto are placed in Group D with Lokomotiv and Galatasaray.
