Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola won't return to Barcelona because of the Madrid-based media.

That's according to Sport, which has reacted to one question put to the former Barca coach this week.

A short editorial noted: "When we thought we had seen it all, two journalists asked Pep Guardiola if Man City would give Real Madrid a guard of honour in the Champions League, for having won La Liga.

"The question was so insane Pep had to ask them to put it to him again.

"Pep knows very well one of the advantages of coaching in England is that he lives far from the toxicity and denigrating ecosystem of journalism in the Spanish capital. Just to avoid these type of daily questions, he will not come back to Barcelona."
