Guardiola didn't watch the UCL draw as Man City still need to get past Real.

Pep Guardiola claimed he did not bother watching the Champions League draw given Manchester City need to progress past Real Madrid.

The Catalan coach stressed that his side should focus on the return leg against Los Blancos which is set to be played on August 7.

UEFA confirmed this week that City will host the second leg next month following their 2-1 win away at the Santiago Bernabeu in February.

City usually watch European draws together as a group at the club's training ground but Guardiola suggested they swerved a draw that pitted them with a potential tie against Juventus or Lyon in the last night.

"In this organisation there is no one who knows Real better than me," Guardiola said in his press conference ahead of Manchester City's game against Brighton Hove & Albion.

"They are the dominant team in the Champions League and we have to focus on them.

"We think about Real.

"If we think about the next step when we are playing against the king of this competition, they will put us out."

The winner of the tie between Manchester City and Los Blancos will face one of Lyon or Juventus on August 15 in Lisbon.
