Pep Guardiola has admitted he has 'learned a lot' as a manager as result of his managerial battles with Jurgen Klopp over the years.
The pair have previously faced of against each other in the Bundesliga when in charge of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund respectively and were reunited following Guardiola's arrival at City ahead of the 2016/17 season. Facing off a total of 22 times, Klopp and Guardiola have each won on nine occasions, drawing the remaining four fixtures.
Involved in some of the highest quality matches the Premier League has seen, the two coaches have always shared a mutual respect despite battling for the biggest prizes. As a result of going toe-to-toe in matches of such importance, the Sky Blues' boss is of the view that Klopp has helped to aid his development.
