Paris St-Germain on Tuesday, Real Madrid on Sunday, and eyes on the Ballon d'Or ceremony on Monday.
This is a glamorous week for Barcelona's Anthony Gordon, whose club-mate Lamine Yamal and international team captain Harry Kane are vying for the big individual prize.
Gordon played the full 90 minutes in Barcelona's Champions League epic against PSG and will likely have a significant role in the Clasico. As for the Ballon d'Or, he is not shy about his ambitions to be in the conversation for that one day, too.
"I've always dreamt of that since a kid," he told the media at the recent England camp. "I've never had a limit on what I can do in life because I understand that the people who are there at some point weren't there.
"I believe anyone can achieve anything they put their mind to - they just need a lot of luck.
"Things like that are about preparation. When preparation meets luck you get that kind of opportunity. So I'm trying to do everything I can to be the best player I can be. Hopefully I get a lot of luck and then we'll see."
His critics might say that dream is fanciful. But Gordon's self-confidence and improvement mindset has taken him to another level this year.
He was a surprise signing by Barcelona in May, given they could have landed his England team-mate Marcus Rashford for £26m after a positive loan spell. But their £69.3m spend signalled their belief in the potential of 23-year-old Gordon.
Buoyed, Gordon went on to have a standout World Cup with England, scoring in the semi-final against Argentina and ousting Rashford as his country's first-choice left winger.
Two assists on his Barca debut in August made him an instant hit with his new club's supporters. There have been four assists in 10 LaLiga games so far, with his first two goals for Barca coming after the last international break - when his three goals in three games for England included a fine breakaway effort against Spain.
The heights of Kane and Lamine Yamal are stratospheric but Gordon sees Barcelona as the ideal place to continue to climb the ladder - and show Premier League viewers there are many more qualities to his game than some assume.
He is already feeling evolution in his game. "Definitely," was his response when asked by Sky Sports if playing alongside the electric talents of team-mates such as Lamine Yamal and Raphinha was having an impact on him.

"I played in a completely different style under Eddie Howe in Newcastle. We played a really intense back-and-forth. It was always quite exciting games, whereas at Barca, the intensity is a lot more slow because we control the ball so much and we've been quite dominant so far.
"I pride myself on having high football IQ and making the right decisions. Sometimes I probably should be more selfish as a player, but it's not really my nature. So I think going to a team like Barcelona has really suited me.
"And it's maybe highlighting strengths that people didn't know that I had or maybe overlooked.
"Because I'm fast and because I press, that's kind of the only thing people ever speak about, but I've actually got a lot more to my game than those two things."

The numbers point to the different role and demands Gordon is now facing in Spain.
With Barca bossing most matches, he is getting on the ball more and having more opportunities to show his threat. His stats for shots, chances created, taking players on and passes are all up. The drop-off in crossing is reflective of Barcelona's different approach to Newcastle.
"He has speed. He can control the ball. He helps us a lot with his dribblings, always being able to create chances," said Barca boss Hansi Flick in summary.
Gordon, along with fellow new signing Karim Adeyemi, is providing a solid option down the left for the German so far. They've allowed Raphinha to go to centre-forward, where he is posting stunning goal figures, while Gordon reckons Lamine Yamal on the other flank is the best winger on the planet right now.
It all adds up to a mouth-watering Barcelona attack - and a big handful for the visiting Real Madrid defenders at the Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday.
When the world watches the Clasico this weekend, Gordon will have the chance to show his rising level among the superstars.
