Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports: “We have to say congratulations to Liverpool and thank you so much, they pushed us to increase our standards.
“It’s incredible, 98 points, to go back-to-back. We made the standard higher last season and Liverpool helped us. To win this title we had to win 14 (league games) in a row. We couldn’t lose one point.
“It’s the toughest title we have won in all my career, by far.”
Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling, speaking to Sky Sports: “I’m just delighted, this is exactly what I came to the club for, to win trophies and be in these moments.
“The manager here… his mentality is the best. It’s always about winning. It’s the way he sets us up. I’m happy to be here learning and winning.
“As a manager, he’s got multiple players in each position challenging each other. No one is comfortable here but everyone is ready to take their chance – like Riyad today. He’s not played much recently but I knew he was going to score today.
“It’s been a lovely season after a difficult World Cup. Hopefully I can go one better next year.”
Brighton manager Chris Hughton, speaking to Sky Sports: “The next step for us is to learn from the disappointment we had in periods this season.
“We need to score more goals, that’s the biggest thing. There are really good parts of our game that we can hold on to, but goals are the most important thing.”
On Bruno’s retirement: “Bruno’s an exceptional individual. It’s not just about him being a great captain. The way he looks after himself and gets in the shape he is, it’s great dedication.
“He’s a fantastic individual and a person. That’s why he’s held in such high esteem here.”
