Pep Guardiola says his players should not "forget" the painful feeling of losing to Real Madrid in devastating fashion on Wednesday night.
Their Champions League exit at the Bernabéu means that Guardiola and moneybags City have still not lifted the European Cup since their own Middle East takeover in 2008. Newcastle now face the wounded animal in City at the Etihad Stadium but Guardiola told his players to retain any of their feelings of disappointment and use it as motivation against the Magpies.
For a start, City need three points to keep their title challenge on track but Guardiola won't want to let another trophy slip after missing out on the Champions League for another year.
