ShareManchester City face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday, with former boss Pep Guardiola expected to be in attendance.Enzo Maresca welcomed the attendance of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, maintaining "it is still his house".City return to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since being found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial regulations against the European champions on Wednesday.The Citizens produced a statement performance in their first outing since the verdict was released, beating Liverpool at Anfield 3-0 to maintain their perfect start in the league. But now their attention turns to the Champions League, with Luis Enrique's side the visitors to Manchester in a match that will see former boss Guardiola return to the club. Guardiola resigned as City's manager in May following a trophy-laden stint with the club, and he has been vocal in his support of the team he managed for a decade. In a post on social media last month, Guardiola addressed the City fans and said they would "get through this together", adding he would always "be behind my club". The Spaniard won 20 major trophies during his time with City, including six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, five EFL Cups and the Champions League in 2022-23.Maresca had made a strong start to life in Manchester, winning eight of his first nine games across all competitions, but the City boss is looking forward to welcoming Guardiola back to the club he enjoyed so much success at. "I spoke with Pep, as I said a few days ago, after the [Manchester] United game. I didn't speak with him after that," Maresca told reporters."If he is coming, it is a nice feeling, especially for him; it has been his house for 10 years. It is still his house because of what he has done here. I think it is exciting for everyone."Maresca added that he did not know Guardiola's exact plans, whether he intended to go into the home dressing room before the game or on to the pitch.But with the noise off the pitch, Maresca's full attention was on matters on it ahead of facing PSG, with the Ligue 1 giants aiming to continue their strong start to their title defence. This will be the ninth meeting between City and PSG, with the Citizens winning four of the last eight (D2 L2) and going unbeaten in the four matches they have hosted (W3 D1).Of the teams they have faced 5+ times in major European competition, only against Bayern Munich (52.9% – 9/17) have the Parisiens lost a higher percentage of their matches than against City (50% – 4/8), but Luis Enrique's side are in fine form in the Champions League. PSG are unbeaten in their last 11 games in the competition (W7 D4), only once having a longer run without defeat, when they put together a 13-match streak between October 2012 and November 2013.They could also become just the second team to go 10+ consecutive games against English sides in the European Cup/Champions League without losing (currently unbeaten in nine – W7 D2), after Real Madrid between 2011 and 2017 (11 games), and Maresca acknowledged City had to be "perfect" to win. "The message for [Wednesday] is quite easy, in terms of winning the perfect game, because they're the best team in Europe in this moment," Maresca added. "They won the last two Champions Leagues, so that shows how good they are, so we need the perfect game but, at the same time, doing our best. "I think we can beat them and be happy at the end."Manchester City face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday, with former boss Pep Guardiola expected to be in attendance.Enzo Maresca welcomed the attendance of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, maintaining "it is still his house".City return to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since being found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial regulations against the European champions on Wednesday.The Citizens produced a statement performance in their first outing since the verdict was released, beating Liverpool at Anfield 3-0 to maintain their perfect start in the league.
