Manager Pep Guardiola said: “We have to play against Real Madrid – the kings of the competition. If we think about the next steps before that we will be out.”
Atletico Madrid, who eliminated defending European champions and new Premier League winners Liverpool, will face Germany’s RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals.
