Guardiola going back to Barcelona, Madrid get BVB

Guardiola won Europe's premier club competition twice during a trophy-laden tenure at Camp Nou, thanks to final victories over Manchester United in 2009 and 2011.

He will lead City in Group C after the Premier League side overcame Steaua Bucharest 6-0 on aggregate in their play-off tie.

City were knocked out in the semi-finals last year - their best performance in five attempts - by eventual winners Real Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane's men will begin their bid for a 12th European title in Group F alongside Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

Last season's defeated finalists Atletico Madrid will face German champions Bayern Munich, who they overcame in a thrilling semi-final tie last time around.
