Barcelona president Laporta: Pep return? I hope Man City win Champions League

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has ducked questions about making a move for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

It's been suggested in the Catalan press that Laporta retains hope of bringing Guardiola back to the club this summer.

Asked about the prospect today, Laporta said with regards to Guardiola he wants "him to win the Champions League this Saturday" since "it would be what all of us who love him would like". The president, faced with the rumours, only wished the City coach the best.

When insisted on whether his return would be a dream, Laporta changed his approach and was blunt.

"I'm not here to explain my dreams. If I did it would be a good one," he said.
