Barcelona next but Man City boss Guardiola won't panic

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola isn't panicking after their 1-1 draw with Everton.

City meet Barcelona in the Champions League for their next game.

“All my career, I have faced attacking teams," said Guardiola.

“Teams like Everton press up and we didn't adapt. They push up to make pressure and we did well but they were almost man-to-man. In Barcelona, I expect they will dominate the ball. I love the way they play.

“I hear a lot of times about the Premier League's intensity. There are more games but the way they play in Germany for example is amazing.

“You must have respect for other leagues and the way they play. Barcelona have three amazing players up front. They have quality players - that is why they are in finals and semi-finals over the last six, seven, eight years…

“We missed the last pass. There are no regrets. Let's try to be optimistic for what will happen in the future."
