Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has welcomed Premier League congratulations from his peers.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was one of the first people to offer Guardiola his congratulations at regaining the Premier League title, as was Everton's Carlo Ancelotti.

"I appreciate it a lot, him and (Everton boss) Carlo Ancelotti," said Guardiola. "I don't answer messages, not yet, but I will today.

"I appreciate it, I admire them, of course. It was an inspiration for me, he (Klopp) makes me through his teams at Dortmund and Liverpool a better manager, to think a lot about the games and the opponents.

"I say thank you so much and appreciate him and Carlo."
