April was an extremely difficult time for Manchester United.

According to the schedule, Manchester United will participate in 7 games this month, not only the number of games is large, but the opponents are not weak.

The game against Liverpool is United's debut in April, and they will soon have two games against Real Madrid in the Champions League, and Newcastle, Arsenal, Blackburn and Tottenham in the Premier League.

尤其是月初到月中这一段，准确的说是从4月5日到4月16日这短短11天，曼联将连续迎战利物浦、皇家马德里、纽卡斯尔和阿森纳。

Among them, Liverpool is the top five teams in the Premier League, Real Madrid is the top of La Liga, Newcastle and Arsenal are the third and second teams in the Premier League, each of which is very strong.

Barcelona, ​​​​the worst, has already tasted the taste of winning the championship.

The last Valencia team is also a team that has performed extremely well in the Champions League in recent years. It once reached the finals for two consecutive years at the beginning of the new century (1999-2000 season and 2000-2001 season), and now Under the leadership of La Liga champion coach Benitez, they broke into the quarter-finals of the Champions League again, with the goal of winning the Big Ears Cup for the first time in team history.
