Fernandinho said he had a premonition that Manchester City would draw Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League.

The Premier League club will take on the Ukrainian outfit in the Round of 16 of Europe's elite club competition and it was as no surprise to City midfielder Fernandinho.

The Brazilian played against Kiev on many an occasion during his time with Shakhtar Donetsk and expected to come up against them in the initial knockout phase.

"It was funny because a few days before I told Fernando that we would draw Dynamo Kiev," Fernandinho told City's official website.

"I told several friends as well because I was convinced we would get them so when the actual draw was made, I just smiled."

The first leg of City's round of 32 clash against Kiev takes place at the Olympic Stadium in the Ukraine capital on February 24.
