The quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League being scheduled for the week commencing April 8 means Monday’s elite football action is relatively thin on the ground.
Cristiano Ronaldo once made the Champions League his own personal playground, winning five titles including three in a row at Real Madrid and establishing himself as the competition’s all-time leading scorer.
Now chasing silverware in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, the 39-year-old has another success in his sights but only if a match against his club’s fiercest rivals can be negotiated successfully.
Elsewhere, Internazionale will aim to continue their dominant march towards Serie A glory and there’s a key game for Racing Santander in their bid to secure a return to LaLiga.
The Sporting News runs through the key games on April 8.
