(Reuters) - Manager Pep Guardiola is calm about Manchester City's potential opponents in the Champions League knockout stages as the Spaniard is expecting a tough fixture regardless and says the Premier League leaders are only focussed on winning. Guardiola's former teams Barcelona and Bayern Munich are among City's potential opponents in the next round, with the draw for the knockout stages to be held on Dec. 11. "We play to win the games and after that we will see how things finish," Guardiola told reporters after the match. "In the last 16, it doesn't matter which one (you get), it always will be complicated." The Manchester side have an eight-point lead at the top of the league and travel to promoted Huddersfield Town on Sunday.
