Guardiola: I don't want to face Barcelona!

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that his former club Barcelona is the only team he would not like to face in the Champions League. The Spaniard said in statements published by the Italian website Calciomercato: "Barcelona is the team I would not like to face in the Champions League, because the love and affection I feel for the team destroys me. I was born and raised in a village near Barcelona." Regarding the news that linked him to leaving his team at the end of the current season: "The news of my departure and joining the England coaching team is not true, or to be more precise, I have not decided anything and I still need to think. If I had already made a decision, I would have said so, but anything can happen." When asked about the possibility of coaching in the Italian league, he said: "Maybe I agree, but Roberto Baggio must accompany me as an assistant coach." Regarding the new format of the Champions League, the Spanish coach said: "Honestly, I do not understand it. I am just coaching my team and that's it. I believe that we should not answer these questions until the end of the season."
