(Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hailed Premier League leaders Liverpool as the best team in Europe, but said his side could take inspiration from last season's 5-0 win at the Etihad Stadium ahead of Thursday's showdown between the two. It's Liverpool, the best team in England's history. "They are in the moment the best team in Europe, in the consistency, the way they control the details in their game. The teams' latest meeting ended goalless earlier this season and Guardiola likened Thursday's game to the second leg of a knockout clash. This will be the second game of the second leg so there are a lot of points to play for," Guardiola added.
