Eight days, seven nights, one region. Three nights in Barcelona to get the legs back and get the work in: a morning training session led by FC Barcelona coaching staff at the Joan Gamper complex, an afternoon in the city, a warm-up game vs Spanish opposition, and a tour of Spotify Camp Nou on the last morning before heading south. Then four nights on the Costa Daurada for the Cup: registration and the opening ceremony, group stage, knockouts and the finals, full board, against clubs from Spain and across Europe. A last night at the resort after the closing ceremony, then straight to Barcelona Airport. Built for the squad and the families travelling with them.
