Barcelona star Ilkay Gundogan dream of a UEFA Champions League meeting with the former team Manchester City this season.
Gundogan captained City to their first Champions League title at the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
European glory capped off a sensational end to the season for City as they completed a treble alongside the Premier League and FA Cup.
Despite his incredible success in Manchester, Gundogan opted against signing a contract renewal at the Etihad Stadium, and accepted a free transfer to Barcelona.
La Blaugrana have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season and face off Paris Saint Germain in the last eight.
The draw kept Barcelona and City apart and they can now only meet in the final on June 1.
Gundogan is confident Barcelona can progress to the showpiece event and wants to meet his old team at Wembley Stadium.
“Of course, I would like to face City in the final! But, the main focus is to play in a final of the Champions League with Barça”, as an interview with the peer Sports newspaper.
“It would be extraordinary to play them, but it doesn't matter who is in front of us. City is an extraordinary team and probably the one with the best chance of being in the final.”
