Andres Iniesta looking forward to Manchester City clash

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta looks ahead to next week's Champions League clash with Manchester City, which will see Pep Guardiola return to Camp Nou.

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has revealed that it will be "special" when Pep Guardiola brings his Manchester City team to Camp Nou in the Champions League next week.

Guardiola spent four years in charge of Barcelona between 2008 and 2012 - winning three league titles and two Champions League crowns before taking control of Bayern Munich in 2013.

Now with Man City, the 45-year-old will visit his former club in the Champions League on Wednesday night and Iniesta is looking forward to another meeting with his former boss.

"It is special to play against Pep, as it was when he was at Bayern Munich. We share important things with him as people and at a club level. It will be a difficult rivalry," Iniesta told Mundo Deportivo. "Pep tells his players about how they should set up and his teams always have a special stamp. Also, they have great players at Manchester City."

Barcelona currently sit top of Group C on six points - two points ahead of second-placed Man City, who dropped two points away to Celtic last time out.
