Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says the current squad is NOT better than the 2012 title winners.

Howvever, the Belgian does rate Pep Guardiola ahead of Roberto Mancini.

He said, "Best manager, no doubt. He's one of a kind. He's as strong as I can imagine the manager to be.

"In terms of team and talents, no, [they're] equal. We've had incredibly talented teams, first time around when we won the title. I mean just to name a few... The frontline was Tevez, Balotelli, Dzeko, Aguero.

"We've always had very talented teams but what we have now is also personalities that kind of suit the manager's ambition in terms of, you know you've got talented players that are going to run and run fast.

"And you've got talented players who are studying the tactics that we need to apply for every game and prepare and to do the extra preparation. That's what makes the difference today."
