Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is unsure about their favourites tag for the Champions League.

The two-times winner with Barcelona reckons there are plenty of other sides who will challenge City every step of the way.

Guardiola said: “We'll have to be really good if they say [we are favourites]. I don't know if we're ready, we don't have a history behind us.

“I'm taking about clubs and fans. As a club, our greatest success has been a semi-final.

“Milan, who will soon be back in the Champions League, knows what it means to win in this competition.

“The favourites are the teams that have history and tradition: Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus, which is closer each time and has now also bought Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Then there's Atletico who plays at home and then there'll be others; I hope we can be there.

“Football in England is very good. Germany likes football a lot, but during the week there is a lot more. You aren't always taking about the sport. In Latin countries it is undoubtedly different. When you travel you realise the cultural differences."
