Guardiola always has a surprise - Arbeloa

Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa spoke to the media about what he expects to see from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in Wednesday's Champions League match.

"He always has a surprise. You have to expect some surprises," Arbeloa said.

"You have to think of many ideas, tactical approaches, that he's going to use and how he's going to use the players.

"I'll be very surprised if tomorrow he doesn't change how the team plays and attacks. We have to be open to expecting anything when facing a coach like Pep Guardiola."

Arbeloa was asked if it is special facing former Barcelona boss Guardiola and said: "It's motivation for us, for the players.

"Even if we've played lots of games against the club, it will be a special night tomorrow. It's really important for me to face one of the best coaches of football."
