'I don't think one second about PSG': Pep Guardiola dismisses thoughts about showdown with Lionel Messi as he says his side's most difficult Champions league game will be Wednesday's against RB Leipzig

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has dismissed any thoughts about his impending reunion with Lionel Messi.

Guardiola faces his former Barcelona star Messi, now at Paris St Germain, in the Champions League at the end of the month.

The pair won three LaLiga titles and two Champions League crowns in four years together at the Nou Camp.

City host RB Leipzig in their opening Champions League Group A game on Wednesday and, after Saturday's 1-0 win at Leicester, Guardiola insisted it is dangerous to focus on facing Messi before they overcome Leipzig.
