The Champions League play-off phase, which is a novelty this season and will have the draw on Friday, January 31, promises to be filled with spectacular duels.
Guardiola's Manchester City secured qualification for the Champions League play-offs in the last breath, thanks to an upset with Club Brugge, but the next opponent for the citizens will be a giant of European football.
Referring to the division made by UEFA, based on the group stage standings, in the play-offs Manchester City risks facing a match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Guardiola immediately commented on this frightening draw by saying that 'we will play with the king of the competition or the 2nd or 3rd best team in the history of the Champions League'.
Ancelotti was not left without commenting, as his Real Madrid, in addition to City, are in danger of facing Celtic in the play-offs. The Italian said that 'we don't want to face City' and that he doesn't like this new Champions League format because there are too many matches.
