Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola rejected the suggestion that his squad are the best in the world, following a 2-0 win over Brentford on Wednesday that moved City 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Instead Guardiola put forward rivals Chelsea and Argentine side River Plate as candidates for best in the world, and claimed only to be interested in results.
"I want us to be happy and try to play better every day and at the end (of season) we will see," said Guardiola, adding that for the players it was a case of "eat, rest and training" before each match.
Following a first-half penalty from Riyad Mahrez - his seventh straight successful conversion for City, Kevin De Bruyne made victory certain with City's second goal in the 69th minute.
