- Guardiola has admitted Liverpool and Barcelona are the two best teams he has faced
- His side, Man City, are on course for a final tally of 98 points this season to win back-to-back EPL silveware
Pep Guardiola says Liverpool and Barcelona are two best teams he has faced so far, even as he stressed that defending the Premier League title with Man City, will rank as one of the 'greatest achievement' in his career.
According to a Goal.com report should Man City win the league, they will be the first team to defend their domestic title since their cross-city rivals United achieved similar feat in 2009.
Guardiola, who also claimed title in Spain and Germany said: “Arriving at this stage, two games left with 92 points, after 100 points last season... being there, that is the most satisfaction I've had as a manager,” the Spaniard said.
"It's not easy, honestly. In my career as a manager, I played against incredible sides. There are two that were 'wow'. One is Barcelona with Luis Enrique, with Neymar, (Lionel) Messi and (Luis) Suarez in front. The other is this Liverpool," he added.
Interestingly, at the start of the year, Liverpool moved seven points clear of City, with defeats to Crystal Palace and Leicester last December appearing to have ended City's quest to defend the league's silverware
However, after Liverpool's four draws in six matches and City's 12 consecutive wins, the Citizens returned into contention for another championship.
“But the reason we were seven behind at that moment is because Liverpool were unstoppable," Guardiola admitted.
