Pep Guardiola’s return to Nou Camp won’t distract Barcelona

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has vowed his team will not be distracted by Pep Guardiola’s return to the Nou Camp as they prepare for tomorrow night’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Guardiola left Barca in summer 2012 after a trophy-laden four-year stint at the helm, and secured a trip back to his former club last month as Bayern overcame a 3-1 first-leg deficit to prevail 7-4 on aggregate against Porto.

The 44-year-old won 14 titles – including two Champions Leagues – while coach of the Catalan giants, but Bartomeu promised the club remained focused ahead of his imminent return.
