Japanese pair makes history

Japanese full-backs Yuto Nagatomo and Atsuto Uchida made history on Tuesday as they became the first players from their country to face each other in a Champions League quarter-final.
Uchida played from the start as his side Schalke 04 earned a stunning 5-2 victory over the reigning champions at an exasperated San Siro.
But history was made in front of a thronging contingent of Japanese media late in the second half as Nagatomo came on for Inter to replace Thiago Motta, lining up the two Japanese full-backs opposite each other on the same side of the pitch.
