Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has welcomed their Champions League semifinal draw with Barcelona.

It will mean a return for former Barca coach Guardiola.

"Naturally, it's special. I'm from Barcelona. That's all I need to say. I'm here now thanks to my time at Barça. There were three options that the draw could have thrown up but it's a special tie for many of us here, Thiago, the staff... A lifetime at Barcelona."

On Barca coach Luis Enrique, Guardiola added: "He's got the attributes to be a great coach and could win the treble this season. I'm very pleased for him."
