Barcelona And Liverpool Are The Best Two Sides I've Faced: Pep Guardiola

Manchester City's manager Pep Guardiola has said that Barcelona and Liverpool are the two best teams he has ever faced in his career as a manager and battling with Liverpool for the Premier League title will be one of his biggest achievements.

"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," goal.com quoted Guardiola as saying.

"I think they're the best two sides I've faced as a manager. That's why being here, with it in our hands, fighting against Liverpool until the end. One of the biggest achievements," he added.

Manchester City and Liverpool are battling it out for the Premier League title and both the teams are neck to neck at the points tally.

If City is able to win the Premier League this year, they will become the first team to defend their domestic title since their cross-city rivals Manchester United in 2009.
