An exciting week of football awaits

FC Barcelona face a busy week with two really attractive games – Wednesday’s Champions League clash in Italy against Milan and then the La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday at the Camp Nou.

There are two big matches for Pep Guardiola’s side as March comes to an end. After Sunday’s day off following their win in Mallorca, the players trained at the Ciutat Esportiva this morning and on Tuesday they will be flying out to Milan, where they will train, at the Giuseppe Meazza at 19.00 on Tuesday evening.

On Wednesday at 20.45 Milan and Barça meet in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals as Barça strive for their tenth win on the run.

The players will stay in Italy on Thursday and train at midday at the Centro Sportivo Faccheti on the outskirts of Milan, before returning on Friday morning in time for training at the Camp Nou at 13.00.

On Saturday at 12.30 the players will have a final training session before facing Athletic Bilbao at ten at night at the Camp Nou. The day after that, they will begin preparations for Tuesday’s return leg against Milan at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. (via FCBarcelona.com)
