Man City boss Guardiola in awe of Ronaldo and Juventus

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus look Champions League favourites after their win over Atletico Madrid.

Juve are into the quarterfinals after a treble from Ronaldo saw them win their tie 3-2 on aggregate.

After City's win over Schalke, Guardiola said: "Real Madrid are out of the Champions League, but look at Juventus, look at what Ronaldo did, Juventus have brought him to win the Champions League, they have reached the final twice and lost both, now they have brought Cristiano back.

"He had all the pressure on his shoulders, but he scored three goals and got his team in. That's the kind of team and players we're going to have to face."
