Manchester City are attempting to retain their Premier League title and are battling with both Liverpool and Arsenal for the trophy.

Speaking to Stake, he said: "Terrific manager, Klopp has certainly elevated Liverpool, allowing them to become a protagonist of the Premier League in recent years. He's made them more aggressive, more intense in their playing style. New players have arrived and Jurgen has managed to adapt them to this offensive mentality. He'll be sorely missed in the Premier League… but he's made his choice, and it's up to us to respect it. Any great manager will teach you many valuable things. It would have been a great experience for sure to play under Klopp."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Of course, the Argentina icon became a legend at City, winning the Premier League five times, but he says playing under Klopp would have been a pleasure for him, while he believes the Reds manager will be sorely missed by his peers. This season, Klopp has already won the Carabao Cup and has his sights set on a treble, as they can still win both the Champions League and the Premier League.
