Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui admits Manchester City are now stronger with summer signing Erling Haaland.

The two teams meet tomorrow night in their Champions League group opener.

Lopetegui said, “A rival with a high level is coming, one of the best in the world, with a Haaland that makes them more complete, but if we start talking about City we won't finish. We focus on ourselves and on playing a good game, promoting what we can do well and trying to find energy and confidence within the difficulties of the Champions League.

“For me, Pep Guardiola is the best in the world. The best or worst is difficult to say, but from my perspective, in a very complex world, I think he has been able to give continuity to what he does and continue to grow in all the teams he's coached."
