Manchester City take on Monaco on Tuesday evening in a Champions League last-16 clash, a team which Pep Guardiola has been fascinated with this season.
The Ligue 1 leaders have already scored over 100 goals in the 2016/17 season, which is a major concern for the Catalan tactician.
"I am really impressed with how good Monaco are," Guardiola told those at his pre-match press conference
"They are killers in the box.
"Both holding midfielders are intelligent, physical and strong."
Radamel Falcao is one of the reasons for Monaco's impressive goalscoring tally, having netted 21 so far, and Guardiola was asked why he thought it didn't work out for the Colombian in England.
"I don't know what happened here," he replied.
"All the players at the top level are good players, but sometimes it doesn't happen for them.
"The way Monaco play is perfect for him and I'm happy he is back and scoring goals."
The coach was also complementary when discussing his opposite number Leonardo Jardim, pointing out how well the Portuguese boss has done in Ligue 1.
"[Jardim] has been there a long time, so he has done a good job," the Catalan said.
"I know how tough PSG are and knowing that [Monaco] are ahead of them is enough to tell how good a job he has done."
With respect to injuries, Guardiola revealed that Vincent Kompany will still be out of action but Gael Clichy is expected to shrug off a pain in his back and should be available for Tuesday's first leg.
