"Good question. Barcelona maybe," Guardiola told Italian show Che Tempo Che Fa, when asked who he'd like to avoid. "The affection I have for them destroys me.

"I was born in a small town nearby, it’s never easy to play against them."

Guardiola was also asked about the new-look Champions League.

"I don’t understand, I just coach," he said. "I think we’ll be able to answer this question only at the end of the season."
