“Any little slip and you've got the Liverpool guys who could go on top of you.

He added: “So you try to do your best to make sure you win the game.

“But it is enjoyable. This is what I became a professional football player for – it's for these moments.

“Win or lose [the title], you're still going to look back on it and just be grateful for these unbelievable moments."

Sterling spent three years at Liverpool before completing a controversial £49million move to City in 2015.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Raheem Sterling has outlined how he feels racism can be tackled out of football after being a victim.

The England international told football authorities to make sure that any team whose fans are caught in racist abuse should be given a 9-point deduction.

Sterling went on to call for teams to be forced to play behind closed doors for three matches if racist incidents occurred.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
