RON’S BACK ON TARGET

-

CRISTIANO RONALDO took just three minutes to hit the target on his return after a positive Covid-19 test.

The Juventus forward, 35, appeared as a 56th minute sub after being sidelined for four games and wasted no time making his mark in a 4-1 Serie A win at rookies Spezia.

The Portugal star – who was only cleared to play on Friday – put his side in front in the second half before completing the win with a cheeky Panenka penalty.

Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c, 39, says his AC Milan teammates are keeping him young after scoring his seventh goal of the season in a 2-1 win at Udinese.

The Swede’s acrobatic late winner was his 17th goal in 22 league games since returning to the Serie A leaders in January.

He said: ”With my confidence, I expected it.

“We are a young team, I raise the average a little, but they make me feel young and we work hard.”

Eden Hazard scored his first goal in more than a year in Real Madrid’s 4-1 win against Huesca in Spain.
