		</div><p>Pep Guardiola will return to Barcelona with Manchester City after his new club were paired with the Catalan giants in the Champions League.</p>
<p>City&#8217;s new manager, who twice won the competition during his illustrious spell in charge at Barca, guided City into the group stage with victory over Steaua Bucharest in the play-off round.</p>
<p>The two sides were drawn together in Group C alongside Borussia Monchengladbach and Scottish champions Celtic.</p>
<p>Surprise Premier League winners Leicester came out in Group G at UEFA&#8217;s draw with Porto, Bruges and Copenhagen.</p>
<p>Arsenal will face Paris St Germain, Basle and Bulgarian side Ludogorets in Group A, with Tottenham playing CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco in Group E.</p>
<p>Holders Real Madrid will meet Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon and Legia Warsaw while last year&#8217;s beaten finalists Atletico Madrid were pitted against Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven and Rostov.</p>
<p>Yet there was no doubting the most eye-catching group, with Guardiola given a trip back to the Nou Camp.</p>
<p>The 45-year-old also won LaLiga three times in four years at the Barca helm.</p>
<p>But while he will be highly familiar with the club, many of City&#8217;s players will also know them well.</p>
<p>The Spanish champions beat City at the last-16 stage in both 2014 and 2015 while goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has just completed a move from Barca to Guardiola&#8217;s new side.</p>
<p>City also played Monchengladbach in the group stage last year en route to the semi-finals.</p>
<p>Their fourth opponents, Celtic, reached the group stage via a tortuous qualifying route involving ties against Lincoln Red Imps, Astana and Hapoel Beer Sheva.</p>
<p>Arsenal are playing in the Champions League for a 19th successive season while Spurs are returning for the first time since the 2010-11 campaign.</p>
