Barcelona coach Quique Setien admits speaking with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola ahead of tonight's clash at Real Madrid.

Setien spoke with Guardiola after City's famous Champions League win in Madrid.

"It's true we had a chat," Setien confirmed on Saturday. "I didn't go to (Madrid) to see Guardiola, I went to watch Madrid against an opponent that is similar to us and to look for conclusions.

"Later, I had the chance to talk with Pep about different things. We saw the plan he had in the game. There are things that City did that could work for us. Other things maybe we can't do or don't interest us.

"So we spoke a little bit about the game and. about other things. But there are things I won't reveal here."
