JURGEN KLOPP has hailed Pep Guardiola as the best manager in the world.
But the Liverpool boss will depart Anfield still desperate to know whether Manchester City have cooked the books.
Klopp will bring the curtain down on his eight-and-a-halfyear reign and one of the greatest managerial rivalries in the Premier League era when the Reds face Wolves in front of an emotion-charged Kop today.
He has lifted the Champions League, Premier League, the FA Cup, two Carabao Cups, the Club World Cup, European Super Cup and Community Shield in his time on Merseyside - only Guardiola's genius has stopped him winning a lot more.
And, while the German has total respect for the Etihad chief as he bids to lift an historic fourth successive title, Klopp admits he wants answers about the 115 Premier League charges that still cloud City's feats.
Klopp said: "Everyone knows about the 115 charges, but I've no clue what that means. I only know the number. Whatever has happened at City, Pep is the best manager in the world and that is really important.
"If you put any other manager in that club, they don't win the league four times in a row. That is down to him and his boys.
