In the Champions League draw, 53-years-old Man City coach Pep Guardiola reveals three (3) teams that he wants Manchester City to avoid playing against in the UCL

Manchester City will learn their opponent for the Champions League quarterfinals on Friday morning.

The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has previously stated that he would prefer not to face Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, or Bayern Munich in today’s Champions League quarterfinal drawing.

The quarterfinal and semifinal draws will take place at UEFA’s offices in Nyon, Switzerland, at 11 a.m. UK time. To advance to the round of eight, City easily defeated FC Copenhagen of Denmark 6-2 over the course of two legs.

City won the second leg last week at the Etihad Stadium by the same score after winning the first leg 3-1 in Denmark. This implied that they would have little difficulty maintaining their European title. The quarterfinal and semifinal draws are seedless, meaning that anyone can play anybody, with the promise of a matchup against the group stage runner-up in the last 16.

Last year, when City took home the trophy in Istanbul, they demonstrated that winning requires defeating the best teams. Guardiola, though, would prefer that his team stay away from Bayern, one of the other elite teams in Europe, with whom he shared three Bundesliga championships. He openly declared following the victory over Copenhagen that he would prefer not to play for PSG, Real Madrid, or that German team.

Guardiola declared last week, “If you play against Bayern Munich, you know how many Champions Leagues they’ve won and how long they’ve been around.” “We are afraid too, but we honor them all.” I’m not sure if they are, but we certainly are.

Guardiola wanted to avoid one of the other favorites, but he stated that his team is prepared for another last eight match because of how well they have performed in Europe in recent years. City defeated Bayern in the quarterfinals and Madrid in the semifinals of the previous season. In those four games, they scored nine goals.

Guardiola remarked, “I tell the players, maybe it’s not enough for you.” I am reminded of how difficult the group stage is each time we go through it. That’s okay if someone says it’s just Copenhagen. They seem fantastic to me. It appears that obtaining a 6-2 score is easy. No, it’s not.

“Madrid ultimately had to lose to defeat Leipzig.” When we play Leipzig, people say it’s easy. Nothing is easy; everything is difficult.

“It’s positive that no one questions our form because it indicates that our standards are unambiguous.” But we have intimate knowledge of the stars and managers. I want to feel like everything is so difficult to understand from my club and my leadership. since you are present. It’s great that you’re still beating everyone else.

Guardiola desires that City stay away from Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich. That means their remaining four potential opponents in the draw are Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona. They advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating FC Porto on penalties on Tuesday night.
