Vincent Kompany pays tribute to Liverpool ahead of Manchester City tie

Manchester City star Manchester Citybelieves they do not need to repeat last season’s record-breaking title success to prove their greatness. Kompany says nothing can detract from City’s achievements and claims Liverpool will be worthy champions if they finish above them. Manchester City are currently a point clear of the top spot with nine games left in this season. “Reaching 100 points - good luck to anyone who wants to do it over again,” said the City skipper. “That stands in isolation as an incredible achievement. “We’re playing as well as we can, nothing is going to take away from that. If Liverpool end up being even better than us, then that’s credit to Liverpool. “It can’t be something that we’ve done wrong in this case, not with the amount of points we’ve got at this point and the way we’ve played so far and with the way we’ve approached every game. “I think we’re doing as good as a team can do but sometimes, if you want to talk about having back-to-back seasons, I’m sure not a lot of teams had to face the sort of opposition we have now with Liverpool. “Liverpool are having the best season I’ve ever known them to have since I’ve been following the Premier League, so it’s a strong team and we just need to raise our level every time.”
