"What can I say?" Guardiola paused when he asked about being drawn against Atletico.
"They went through an incredibly tough group stage and against [Manchester] United over 180 minutes they were better, the game in Madrid was a fantastic first half. As a team, they are what they are.
"Lots of work vs Atletico [Madrid] to think about the next stage (the winner between City and Atletico on aggregate will take on Chelsea or Real Madrid in the semi-finals)."
