Kompany acknowledged that after lifting the trophy with City today, paying a neat tribute to the Reds for their heroic efforts and explaining how their challenge made this win even more satisfying.

‘Back to back…. I think it was the hardest and most satisfying Premier League ever,’ Kompany told Sky Sports in the video clip below.

‘Liverpool were exceptional this year – I don’t mean to rub it in they did not deserve to lose it today.

‘We’ve played against such a good team. We won at home at the Etihad and until now we’ve managed to stay ahead.’
