Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with Raheem Sterling's form.

The midfielder is back to his best this season.

"Now he feels the love, believe me. Do you think I improved his skill in a month-and-a-half?" said Guardiola. "All the managers in the world try to create a good environment but they are the ones who play. I can't decide the games.

"The referee whistles and I wave my hands around, but football belongs to the players. I am so happy that Raz (Sterling) shows his talent. I might suggest if they stand in a certain place they will receive the ball more. But they decide between a million possibilities in a second."
