Manchester City jet straight off to Spain on a four-day jaunt after Sunday's game at Newcastle United.
In an unusual move, the Premier League champions are facing Barcelona in a friendly for charity at the Nou Camp on Wednesday evening.
But Pep Guardiola wanted to turn the trip into a training camp, with City using facilities in Girona to aid their preparations for next week's home game against Crystal Palace.
The friendly is organised to raise funds for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research after ex-Barca goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzue – who worked under Guardiola - was diagnosed with the disease.
