Big game coming for Ronaldo, Giggs
(03-04 19:22)
As if there wasn't enough at stake when two of Europe's biggest teams go at it for a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals, there are a couple of extra reasons for fans to get emotional at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
While one of Manchester United's former heroes returns, the club's longest-serving player is expected to hit another milestone, AP reports.
And then there's the game itself, with United and Real Madrid level at 1-1 following the first leg of their Champions League last-16 matchup.
It will be Ryan Giggs' 1,000th senior match, and Cristiano Ronaldo's first at United since becoming the world's most expensive player in 2009 by leaving for 80 million pounds.
United captain Patrice Evra spoke to Ronaldo after the first leg and recalls: "He said it was going to be more difficult to come here. This is his house, so there will be a lot of emotion.''
