Nolito dismissed any notion of wanting "revenge" over Barcelona when Manchester City host his former club in Champions League Group C on Tuesday.
Spain forward Nolito played for Barcelona B between 2008 and 2011 but only made two appearances for the senior side before moving to Benfica.
"I think there are a lot of other things to play for," he said. "I don't know what team the manager will put out but I am quite relaxed.
"I am not looking for revenge in any way shape or form. I'm happy here at City and hopefully things go well for me at City."
Pablo Zabaleta among those limbering up, despite Guardiola's earlier claim of being without two right-backs. Bacary Sagna is absent October 31, 2016
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to bounce back from a 4-0 loss at Camp Nou last time out in Champions League that leaves them five points behind Barca in the group.
Guardiola told his media conference that he was without both his senior right-backs for the match but Pablo Zabaleta (foot) took part in the session with his team-mates, while Bacary Sagna (hamstring) was absent.
If Zabaleta misses out, there is the prospect of defensive midfielder Fernando or teenage rookie Pablo Maffeo being pitted against Neymar on the left of the Barcelona attack.
Neymar completed the rout in Catalonia after having a penalty saved by Willy Caballero, who is set to start in goal for the hosts due to Claudio Bravo being suspended.
Bravo, who joined Caballero for his warm-up on the eve of this match, was dismissed for handling a Luis Suarez shot outside his area – City's fourth red card in five Champions League matches against Barcelona, all of which have ended in defeat.
