The games against Inter Milan on Tuesday and Real Madrid on Sunday will determine the schedule for FC Barcelona’s week.

There are two huge games to end November at the Camp Nou. Inter Milan and Real Madrid are coming. First up is José Mourinho’s side at 20.45 on Tuesday, a game on which much of FC Barcelona’s Champions League hopes hinge.

Champions Monday

Inter Milan are in Barcelona from Sunday night, and will train on Monday at the Camp Nou. That will be at 17.30, when Samuel Eto’o will read the turf for the first time since he left for Italy. At 17.00, José Mourinho, another former FCB employee, will be giving a press conference in the Camp Nou pressroom.

Barça next

After Inter have trained, Barça will be doing likewise. First, at 18.15, FC Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola and a first team player will be speaking to the press, and the session itself begins in the stadium at 19.00.

As for all home Champions League games, the squad will be staying at Hotel La Florida, Tibidabo. They will also train on the day of the match at 12.00.

Wednesday off and then Madrid

In such an intense week, the players will be getting a break on Wednesday, but then it will be back to work to start thinking about the visit of Real Madrid on Sunday at 19.00. The players will train on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper each day at 11.00.
