Raheem Sterling sends message to Liverpool ahead of the upcoming season

The new Premier League season will kick-off on August 8. Last season Manchester City were crowned as the Premier League champions by having left behind Liverpool. The Reds finished second by being just one point behind, however, they managed to win the Champions League by having reached the final for the second year in a row. Ahead of the upcoming season, Manchester City star Raheem Sterling claims that they are determined to win the Premier League once again. "I was really happy for Liverpool, happy for some of the players I know to lift the Champions League," he told Daily Mail. "What we've done last season - every day, week in, week out - was exceptional. The Champions League is massive for us as a club but our most important thing is winning the Premier League. That's our main objective going into this season. "The Premier League is your bread and butter. The Champions League is the nicer-looking one, the most prestigious as people say, but every weekend you put in a shift. You're going to tough places… you're off to Crystal Palace, Burnley, it's tough, you know. You put so much time into it. That's why we cherish it. "It'll be harder than last season. To do this three times in a row is a massive challenge for us. "Liverpool, all these big clubs, will try to take titles off us. But there isn't any player here who thinks they're at their best. There are no egos in our changing room, no player who thinks he's Pele or Maradona."
