Pep Guardiola admits he misses Jurgen Klopp as he prepares to face his old rival's former club in the 1,000th game of his managerial career.
The Manchester City boss reaches the landmark when his side host Liverpool on Sunday, a fitting opponent given their decade-long rivalry under Klopp.
Guardiola enjoyed some of his fiercest title battles against the German before he stepped away from Anfield last year, and he ranks those duels among the highlights of his career.
'If I were to choose one rival for this personal milestone, that I want to share with many people, they would be the best,' Guardiola said.
