Aguero ends goal drought
It is only 67 days since City's defeat against Lyon in the delayed quarter-finals of last year's competition, and that disappointment must be fresh in Guardiola's mind.
His side made a sluggish start here too, but in the end he will have seen plenty to improve his mood - notably the end of Aguero's goal drought.
The prolific Argentina striker had gone 230 days without scoring before converting his penalty, the longest spell of his illustrious career.
Aguero had missed a large portion of that spell through injury, before making a return to action against Arsenal last weekend.
His fitness and form is surely key to City success, especially with their only other senior striker Gabriel Jesus sidelined, and it must be reassuring for Guardiola to see him back among the goals.
