Manchester City braced for ‘very tough task in amazing group’

Pep Guardiola will return to Barcelona with Manchester City as well as tackling Scottish giants Celtic after being handed a tough Champions League draw.

The new City boss, who won the competition twice with Barcelona during a glittering four-year spell in charge at the Camp Nou, will face his old club in this year’s group stage.

City, Barcelona and Celtic were drawn together in Group C at yesterday’s draw in Monaco alongside German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach.
