Real Madrid Will Face Tough Schedule in April

Just as Mourinho's team is trying to find its groove again, April will be the toughest challenge Real Madrid will have to face for the rest of the season, including away games against Barcelona, Osasuna and Atlético and Sevilla and Valencia at home.

If Real Madrid advances to the next round of the Champions League, the players will also have two hard-fought games against Bayern Munich this month. Di María and Coentrao need to be healthy as soon as possible so Mourinho has more players to choose from in these big games.
