This Week's Fixtures Are Football Heaven

The football calendar for this week is a dream come true.

No, seriously. It looks incredible!

During the mid-week, the Champions League is back and there are some spicy fixtures for football aficionados to be excited about.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be making a return to Old Trafford when Juventus face off against Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will be without talisman Lionel Messi after an injury he sustained on the weekend and are in a tough match against an in-form Inter Milan.

Other fixtures include Borussia Dortmund vs Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain vs Napoli.

Of course, let's not forget the epic showdown that is Real Madrid vs Barcelona in El Clásico. In fact, it will also be the first time in 11 years that Ronaldo and Messi won't feature in either squad for the match.
