Pep Guardiola made the interesting admission that his Manchester City side are "not ready" to win the Champions League just yet.

"We are going to put in all effort to win this competition, but from what I saw last season we are not ready, that's what I feel," said Guardiola, who won the Champions League twice with Barcelona.

"That doesn't mean we are not going to try."

The side who amassed 100 points in the Premier League season are "not ready" then. What state that says the other English sides are in I'm not sure.

"We don't have that feeling, the feeling that the fans are pushing that we have to win the Champions League," added Guardiola.

Paul Pogba has had a hand in all three of Manchester United's Champions League goals this season.

As well as Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will also be up against his former club.

France World Cup winner Pogba played for the Old Lady between 2012 and 2016, winning four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italias.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on BT Sport: "We changed hotel and it is just around the corner.

"The players were on the bus for 45 minutes and I walked with a hoodie in the middle of the fans and nobody recognised me.

"It took two minutes.

"But Juventus had the same kind of problem. We don't want to be punished again."

AEK Athens gaffer Marinos Ouzounidis (above) is looking to take the Greek champions past the Champions League group stages for the first time.

This is their first run in the competition since 2006 and there should be a feel-good factor given they claimed a league title for the first time since 1994 last season.

Their entire squad have 53 Champions League appearances between them. Arjen Robben alone has 108.

That's what you call an experience gap.

There's a firework or some sort of smoke-producing device gone off in Athens and the pitch is barely visible for a while. Nothing missed. The smoke clears and it's still scoreless...

Here's how Michy Batshuayi rounded the keeper to give Valencia the lead against Young Boys. The second period has just started, as is the case in Athens, where Bayern and AEK is goalless.

A reminder Bayern have one win in five, prompting criticism and pressure on their gaffer.

Christian Fassnacht almost draws Young Boys level with Valencia, his header is well held.
