City came from behind to win 4-1 away to Brighton on Sunday's final day of the season - a result that meant the reigning champions finished just a point in front of second-placed Liverpool, who won 2-0 at home to Wolves.In most seasons, Liverpool's tally of 97 points would have seen them crowned champions.
"We worked a lot," he said."I have to say congratulations to Liverpool of course. Thank you so much. They helped to push us and to increase our standards from last season." Guardiola's side secured exactly 100 points in winning the title last season but the manager was arguably even more impressed by their efforts this term, even if the overall tally was lower."For two to three months we cannot lose one point and we did it all playing in all competitions until the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Sunday's result meant Liverpool's wait for a maiden Premier League title - their last domestic championship was in 1990 - goes on, although they could yet win the Champions League if they beat Tottenham Hotspur when the English rivals meet in a Madrid final on Jun 1.
