Pep Guardiola has spoken highly of Newcastle United.
Preparing for a mouth-watering Premier League clash against Eddie Howe’s high-flying Magpies, Pep Guardiola knows Saturday night’s featured game won’t be an easy fixture for his treble-winning Cityzens.
Top of the table following an opening weekend 5-1 thrashing over Aston Villa, Newcastle United pose a major attacking threat, and Guardiola has acknowledged that ahead of today’s clash at the Etihad Stadium.
“It’s a Champions League team,” the Spaniard told reporters.
“If you are a team and you qualify for the Champions League the next season, it’s because you are a really, really good team.”
