Girona coach Michel admits he hopes to avoid Manchester City in the Champions League next season.

Victory over Barcelona on Saturday saw Girona qualify for the Champions League.

Both Girona and City are owned by City Football Group and Michel said: "I wouldn't like it, there are many more attractive ones for me.

"We are from the City group and knowing Pep, he would try to blow us up and he has a good chance of blowing us up.

"There are many teams with a lot of history and it would be nicer if Bayern or Liverpool came."

Michel also said on Cadena SER: "We are screwed. If we have to sell we will sell, but we are not a club that now thinks more about extra-sports matters. Those on loan like Savinho, Pablo, Eric, Couto... I don't know what is going to happen, but the rest have a contract and I hope to see them on their return . Xavi already said that he was counting on Eric Garca..."
