Guardiola: Nobody plays better than Barcelona
Posted Wednesday, August 31, 2016 by Marca.com
Few headlines emerged out of the Champions League group stage draw for the 2016/17 season, but Pep Guardiola has a reunion with Barcelona to look forward to.
The Spaniard's Manchester City side may still be in their relative infancy under Guardiola, and the coach knows how difficult it will be to travel to Catalunya and face Luis Enrique's side.
"We will play against the best," Guardiola told Catalunya Radio. "Nobody plays better than Barcelona.
"The attacking trio make a big difference, but much work goes on behind them.
"I am also concerned by [Borussia] Mönchengladbach, I know them very well and it's a good test. If we fall asleep for the first two games, we are out.
"An international break allows the tactician to momentarily rest after earning five wins in all competitions from his opening five matches at Eastlands, but next up is a trip to Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.
"I have come to England for [these games]," Guardiola added.
"We have good midfielders, they are taking quickly to the system and understand things fast.
"The only thing that I am struggling with in England is driving on the left."
