Guardiola lauds conquest of his 'best opponent'

City boss rates win over Napoli a career highlight

MANCHESTER, England - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Napoli in the Champions League group phase as one of the proudest moments of his storied career.

City took a quick 2-0 lead through Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, but Amadou Diawara's penalty - after Dries Mertens had squandered an earlier spotkick - made for a tense finale.
