After the away win at Athletic Bilbao this Sunday (0-1), Pep Guardiola’s men are starting out on a week that is marked by Wednesday’s Champions League encounter away at Basle and Saturday’s clash at home with Almería.

Preparations began this Monday after the presentation of the club’s new official coach, with a training session behind closed doors in the Miniestadi that began at 11 am.

This Tuesday the team will meet up at Camp Nou before heading for El Prat airport at 11 am to catch a flight to Switzerland, where on Wednesday at 8.45 pm they take on Basle in the third round of Champions League group stage matches. Once in Switzerland the side will train at the St. Jacobs Stadium on Tuesday at 7.30 pm.
