Guardiola: I’m not here to give advice to Mikel Arteta

Pep Guardiola has refused to offer advice to Mikel Arteta ahead of the title race, while also commenting on Manchester City's Champions League draw against Real Madrid.

Guardiola stated that playing Real Madrid allows City to "learn and improve," despite it being the 10th or 11th time in five seasons. He confirmed winger Jeremy Doku has returned to training but offered no specific return date. Regarding Ramadan, Guardiola insisted that four fasting players, including Rayan Aït-Nouri and Omar Marmoush, will not impact his selection as they are "used to it."
