MILAN (Reuters) - Playing against Atalanta is like going to the dentist, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told reporters after the English Premier League champions were held 1-1 by the Serie A upstarts.

Atalanta are playing in the Champions League for the first time and had lost their first three games in Group C, including a 5-1 defeat at Manchester City. But Guardiola said after Wednesday's match that their poor record did not mean they were not a difficult side to beat.
