The Citizens finished the home stage in first place, ahead of Paris Saint-Germain. The guest, who rose from second place in the third house, hopes to get a good result against the English champion.
Kevin de Bruyne, American LaPorte, Joao Censello, Rodry and Riyadh Rhyme won 0: 4 over Norwich in the league as part of Guardiola’s squad, who are missing Kyle Walker who have been ruled out for three games and also Jack Grillish, Gabriel Jesus and Cole The injured Palmer. On the other hand, sporting star Pedro Gonzalez has recovered from an injury and developed alongside Pablo Sarabia.
The rematch between the two teams will take place on March 9 at the United Stadium in Manchester.
