Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne said he does not "feel sorry" for Liverpool after his Sky Blues side pipped the Reds to the Premier League title by one point.
Liverpool collected 97 points as they tried to end their 29-wait for a league title, but they ultimately fell just short.
Per Goal's Sam Lee, when asked if he felt sorry for Liverpool, De Bruyne said:
"No. It's a remarkable effort, but it means that we were just better than them in the end. I don't feel sorry for them, because I don't think they'd feel sorry for us. I don't think anybody felt sorry about the way we went out of the Champions League. You take it. I know how they feel, because you're going to feel disappointed. We'd feel the same if it happened to us.
"But we're still competitors. We want to win as much as they do, but I can understand the feelings they have.
"It's the general view of athletes. You feel compassionate with other teams, but in the end the most important thing is, if you play an individual sport, it's yourself, and when it's your team, it's your team. It's been a great battle. But to feel 'sorry' for them is maybe going a little too far."
