Manchester City midfielder, Rodri, has admitted that his side will have to overcome the “best team in England and in Europe” in Liverpool, if they are to win the Premier League this season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side finished just a point behind City last season and then went on to win the Champions League.
The Reds have begun this campaign in superb form, with eight wins from eight in the Premier League.
City, meanwhile, have lost twice and draw once already, which means they sit eight points behind table-topping Liverpool.
Asked whether Manchester United or Liverpool were now City’s main rivals, Rodri told ESPN: “I don’t know, I had never been in the city before, I don’t know how people in the city feel.
“But the team to beat is Liverpool now and that has been seen the last two seasons. They are the champions of Europe so everyone wants to beat them, not just us.
“They’re a great team, they have improved a lot of things, they’re a very good team, and they’re the best team in England and in Europe.”
