Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is wary of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham after his side were drawn to face the Spanish giants in the Champions League quarter-finals on Friday.
Guardiola believes that Real Madrid are a different side compared to last season due to Bellingham's "obvious" impact.
Defending champions City defeated the 14-time Champions League winners in the semi-finals last season, drawing 1-1 away and registering a convincing 4-0 win at the Etihad in the second leg.
Bellingham, who was roped in by Real from Borussia Dortmund in July for a fee of around 103 million euros, has notched up 20 goals and assisted nine for the La Liga table-toppers across all competitions this season.
Asked about the top La Liga goalscorer, the City manager told reporters on Friday: "(Bellingham's) impact has been massive. It's a different team from last season. His influence is obvious, and we have to try to discover what he does to control it.
"Facing Real Madrid is always a tough challenge, nobody can deny it. They are an exceptional club, and in this competition they can control many things with the experience they have in the past.
"Like last season there will be moments for them and moments for us. The longer we can keep our moments, we'll be closer. We'll try to do a good performance in Madrid and then here, with our people, do it again."
The first legs of the Champions League's quarter-finals are schedule to be held from April 9-10 and second legs on April 16-17.
