Pep Guardiola: Winning FA Cup would be best way to prepare for Real Madrid clash

The holders will face Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Pep Guardiola has challenged his Manchester City players to prepare for their Champions League showdown with Real Madrid by winning the FA Cup.

City will face Real in the end-of-season mini-tournament when they return to European action and having passed their Premier League crown to Liverpool last week, they are determined to add another trophy to their collection before locking horns with the Spanish giants.
