Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists tonight's Champions League clash with Real Madrid isn't about "revenge"
The semifinal is a repeat of last season's clash which Real won 5-3 on aggregate.
"We're not here for revenge, we're here for an opportunity," said Guardiola.
"What happened, happened in the past. It would be a huge mistake to think about that.
"The lesson we learn from last year is not revenge, it is learn about what happened, get a good result, perform well and give the opportunity to leave the tie open in Manchester.
"I'm not a big fan to talk about experiences as a positive or negative way.
"Of course we have the same managers and 80% same players on both sides, but these are completely different games.
"We played exceptional at home, it could not have been better. In Madrid we played - not exceptional - but good. We did everything to reach the final but it is football."
He added: "To win this competition you have to beat the best teams and Madrid is the best team in this competition in the past decade."
