Pep Guardiola will return to the Camp Nou after Manchester City and
Barcelona were drawn together in the Champions League group stage on
Thursday.
Guardiola spent the majority of his playing career with
Barcelona and led them to two European titles as manager in 2009 and
2011.
And now in his first season as City manager, he will face
off against his former club in Group C, along with Borussia
Monchengladbach and Celtic, when the group stage begins next month.
The
draw featured some other blockbuster matchups, as defending champions
Real Madrid play Borussia Dortmund in Group F, Paris Saint-German face
Arsenal in Group A, and Bayern Munich drew last year's runners-up
Atletico Madrid in Group D.
There were more favourable draws for the other two English clubs.
