"At Barcelona and Real Madrid, the outside noise is a thousand times louder than here. The atmosphere in the stadium is quite similar, it’s fantastic. We’ve helped City build this rivalry over the past decade. Before that, it was Manchester United-Liverpool, I suppose. What happened during Jürgen's time makes this period the most significant, because after the first season, the Premier League was always between us and them. I’ve always appreciated this healthy rivalry. I always felt that we respected each other. Jürgen brought me a lot and I miss him. He taught me so much about what I needed to do to try to beat him," Guardiola said.
