Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said no team has pushed him to the absolute limit in the way Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool side has and he will remember the rivalry fondly when he eventually retires from the game.
City lead Liverpool by one point going into Sunday’s clash at the Etihad Stadium, a game that could potentially decide the fate of the title race with eight rounds left.
Guardiola has had memorable rivalries with Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid when he was at Barcelona and Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund when he managed Bayern Munich but he picked a consistent Liverpool as his toughest rival yet.
