(Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday he was not looking ahead to a potential Champions League quarter-final tie against Juventus because any loss of focus could result in elimination by Real Madrid in the last 16.

City lead Real 2-1 heading into the return leg at the Etihad Stadium on Aug. 7 and would face Cristiano Ronaldo's Juve in the quarter-finals if both teams were to progress. The Italians are 1-0 down versus Olympique Lyonnais from the first leg in France.

"We think about Real. If we think about the next step when we are playing against the king of this competition, they will put us out." The club's record goalscorer limped off with a knee injury in last month's 5-0 Premier League home win over Burnley. "The intention every season is to play in the Champions League and do the best possible. It is not about what will happen on Monday," he said.
