Schalke relegated from Bundesliga after 2-4 (1-2) defeat at cup finalists RB Leipzig. Konrad Laimer and Christopher Nkunku scored for visitors before Marcin Kaminski and Willi Orban's own goal for hosts.
Substitute Yussuf Poulsen (82') and again Nkunksu (90'+4) dashed all hopes of staying in the league. Schalke sporting director Peter Knäbel was "incredibly proud" of players and fans.
