Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola rates Liverpool as their nearest rivals both at home and in Europe.
Guardiola was speaking after their Champions League thrashing of Sporting CP last night.
When asked which team could beat them in Europe, Guardiola said: "Liverpool. They are six points behind us, Liverpool are the bigger rivals in the past seasons, always there.
"They are a pain in the a** all the time. They are a fantastic team in Europe. Just take a look at PSG today, they played really well against Madrid, look at Inter Milan or Liverpool or United.
"When you are the favourite, they don't assure you in April or May. In a long competition like the Premier League, when you win it you are the best.
"In the Champions League our goal [focus] is the next minutes, the next game because it changes everything. In the Premier League no [it doesn't] but in this competition it is like this."
