Pique: City play like Barca

Gerard Pique believes the arrival of Pep Guardiola is transforming Manchester City into a side who now play like Barcelona.

Pique, who was one of Guardiola’s first signings at the Blaugrana from City’s rivals Manchester United, was speaking ahead of the former manager’s return to the Camp Nou in Wednesday night’s Champions League group match.

"They play like us because Pep was here many years," said the 29-year-old in a press conference.

“They pressure a lot really high, they try to have the ball and create chances.

"He understands football the same way we do. It will be a really challenging game."
