Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wasn't playing up last week when declaring he'd never return to Barcelona.

It's been suggested Lionel Messi has called Guardiola urging him to return as a replacement for Luis Enrique. However, Guardiola shut down the rumours on Friday.

And Don Balon says the Catalan wasn't messing around.

Guardiola has no time for the current board, believing they've torn apart the legacy he had left the club.

The City manager also has no interest in working again with the local Barcelona media, which he blames for a section of the Blaugrana support turning against him since he left.
