Pep Guardiola preview

"We have a lot of respect for Al Ain and the connection with the UAE and Abu Dhabi. We have a huge opportunity to go to the next round and you will see how many things can happen. We will take it seriously and hopefully we can do a good game.

"I love this tournament, how South American teams play with Europe and other continents, you see how they challenge and compete.I like how every game is tough, really tough. All the games are so tight, and people go ‘oh the European team lose’, welcome to the real world my friends. They are good, and I like it. We are here to play against them and prove how we are as a team and try to extend as long as possible in the competition here and prepare for next season."
