APRIL: THE SEASON COMES TO A HEAD

It's here that the fate of the season is decided. After the most recent international break - including the U21 Euros, 2022 World Cup qualifiers and 2022 African Cup qualifiers - the league is back: ten matchdays to go, of which five will be played in April. Sampdoria, Parma, Genoa, Sassuolo and Lazio: five tough clashes which stand in the way of the objectives for the season. Here is the First XI's schedule for April: 

SERIE A

• AC Milan v Sampdoria: Saturday 3 April, 12:30 CEST, San Siro - Matchday 29

FEMALE FIRST XI
There are only two fixtures scheduled for April, but both are very significant. After making a comeback to win the Derby against Inter, Ganz's Rossonere will be back playing on 18 April for a Serie A clash against Napoli: they need three points to reach second place and take one step closer to the Champions League. The following Saturday, on 24 April,  they will face off against Inter in the return leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals: another derby, which they will have to win if they are to go through, having lost the first leg 2-1.

PRIMAVERA
A truly tough, demanding month. The Rossoneri Primavera side are back at it tomorrow, for their game against Atalanta scheduled for Friday 2 April, as they continue to pursue their playoff ambitions.
