Man City attacker Sterling tells Liverpool: Prem bigger than Champions League

Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling insists he was happy seeing former club Liverpool win the Champions League.

However, the 24-year-old said that for City the Premier League was the more important trophy to win.

"I was really happy for them, happy for some of the players I know to lift the Champions League," he said.

"The Champions League is massive for us as a club but our most important thing is winning the Premier League. That's our main objective going into this season.

"Yes, it would be nice to win the Champions League but first and foremost we want to win the league.

"The Premier League is your bread and butter, every weekend, what you train for every day. The Champions League is the nicer looking one, the most prestigious as people say, but every weekend you put in a shift, you're going to tough places."
