Celtic, not record, is Guardiola focus

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has dismissed the significance of the club chasing a record 11th straight victory at the beginning of a season.

City can equal the record set by Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the 1960/61 season by defeating Celtic.

Guardiola is more concerned with making progress in Champions League Group C.

"Believe me, I'm not focused on this little record, because another team will come and beat the record in the future," the Spaniard said.

"What I want tomorrow is to play good, to continue what we did in the last months, many things we did really well and aspects we can improve [and] do it to win the game.
