Pedro: 'I am a fan of Manchester City'

Barcelona winger Pedro has admitted that he enjoys watching Manchester City this season ahead of meeting the Sky Blues in the Champions League tonight.

Manuel Pellegrini's men host the Spanish giants in a first-leg last-16 tie at the Etihad Stadium later today.

The Citizens have scored 117 goals in all competitions this season under the Chilean, and the Spain international admits to being a fan of City's free-flowing style of football.

"I watch City when I can," he told The Guardian. "I enjoy watching them play.

"When there is a team who you know you're going to face, it is good to see what form they are in and analyse them."

Tonight's encounter is scheduled to kick off at 7.45pm.
