MADRID (Reuters) - Manchester City should not expect a repeat of their dominant win over Real Madrid last season when they meet in the Champions League quarter-finals, manager Pep Guardiola said on Monday.

Holders City beat visitors Real 4-0 last May to win their semi-final tie 5-1 on aggregate, but Guardiola said Carlo Ancelotti's team would present a different challenge as they prepare for Tuesday's first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
