Pep Guardiola looks ahead to the new competition
"We will see how we finish the season and see how we arrive in that tournament together, and then we will see what happens."
"Normally, whenever I start a competition, for example, like the Premier League, never do I start thinking, 'Oh, we are going to win, etc.' So, one step at a time."
"Try to play better than we played in the league, arrive in better conditions everyone and after we see."
