Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has reacted to drawing Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage for three years in a row.
The defending champions will take on the 13-time European champions for a spot in the semi-finals.
The Citizens thrashed Los Blancos 6-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals enroute to winning their maiden Champions League title.

“It’s a bit like a tradition, three years in a row playing the king of the competition who have won 14 Champions Leagues,” Guardiola declared.
“It is what it is, hopefully we can have a good moment.
“[There are] still a few weeks before the first game in Madrid. We’ll see.
“The draw you cannot control. Normally when the people say the draw is easy, you undermine the other opponents.
“It’s not necessary to say what Real Madrid are in this competition, the second leg is at home but two seasons ago it was away, so it is what it is.
“We have to do two good games to go through.”
