FC Barcelona are set to play twice in the same week for the first time this season as they meet Panathinaikos on Tuesday and then travel to Madrid to play Atlético.

Training will be all about recovery and preparation as Pep Guardiola's team must go from game-to-game with little time to consider their previous outing.

Greek visit

On Sunday the Blaugrana began to think about the Champions League for the first time this term and will train on Monday at 18:45 in the Ciutat Esportiva after coach Guardiola and Andrés Iniesta have attended a 17:00 press conference in Camp Nou.

Before the game on Tuesday the players will do train at 11:30 in Camp Nou as they go over any last-minute orders from the coaching staff.

Recovery and preparation

A day later and Guardiola will oversee his players' working at the Ciutat Esportiva at 11:00 as the stars that appeared against Panathinaikos recuperate and those that did not continue to prepare for Atlético.

Day trip

Work continues on Friday and Saturday as the team will train at 11:00 on both days before travelling to Madrid on Sunday morning.
