Manchester City star Raheem Sterling has promised a response from the team next season and says the team will arrive back 'very hurt' should rivals Liverpool win the Premier League.
The Reds are 25 points clear of Pep Guardiola's side and are cruising to their first league title for 30 years. Just three more wins will confirm them as champions of England, something that Sterling says will hit City hard.
The England winger has conceded that he and his team-mates haven't been good enough to catch Liverpool this season and challenge the team to come back stronger next season, using the pain of their impending title win to inspire them.
