Pep Guardiola described Manchester City’s growing rivalry with Real Madrid as being “like a derby” after the two sides were paired yet again in the Champions League.
Guardiola’s side have been drawn to face the 15-times European champions in the Champions League knock-out round play-off, while Celtic were paired with Bayern Munich – the other side City might have faced after making it through the league phase thanks to Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Club Brugge.
