Pep Guardiola braced for 'special' return to Barcelona

"I spent most of my life there. I know the people there, I know the club, the media, most of the players are still there, so the emotion is there."

Pep Guardiola is preparing for "something special" when he returns to Barcelona with Manchester City this week.

The 45-year-old may now be in charge at the Etihad Stadium but for many he remains synonymous with Barca and he is sure to be the main focus of attention ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash at the Nou Camp.
