Barca back on Champions League duty
www.fcbarcelona.cat
Guardiola’s team have two big games this week: first off it’s back to the European scene as they take on Lyon at the Nou Camp in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday, then on Sunday they travel to Almeria.
It’s been three months since the Nou Camp last hosted a Champions League game and this
Wednesday’s game will be the key point in Barca’s week. Guardiola gave the players a
day off on Sunday, but they’ll be back in training on Monday morning at 11.00 at the Joan
Gamper Ciutat Esportiva.
Busy Tuesday
Tuesday’s training will be at the stadium
from 11.00, following which Guardiola and one of the squad will face the press. Lyon’s press
conference is set for 17.00, after which the French Champions will train on the Nou Camp pitch.
After Wednesday’s game (kick off 20.45), Barca will have four days to prepare for their
21.00 kick off against Almeria in the Mediterranean Games Stadium.
