Manchester City host Bayern Munich on Tuesday night in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
Pep Guardiola is all too familiar with the threat Bayern can pose having enjoyed a successful spell as manager between 2013 and 2016. However, the Bundesliga giant's camp also boasts two players who know City very well.
