Ex-Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton believes Pep Guardiola is the manager of the best side in the world.
City destroyed Basel 4-0 in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday and have all but guaranteed winning the Premier League title.
"Yeah no doubt about it. I think they're the best team in world football," Barton told Omnisport. "At this moment in time, there's no better team in world football than them.
"They're going to have the league wrapped up here in the next 10 games, eight games. I think they'll have it done with a couple of games to spare. They're on for the quadruple at this moment in time.
"I watched them live on Saturday [in a 5-1 victory over Leicester City], it's going to be a good team that's going to stop them. There's some good teams in Europe and there's some big hurdles for them to overcome but I think they've still got a couple of gears to find.
"When they find them ... they're going to have players coming back from injury soon - Sane, Gabriel [Jesus], David Silva. I think they're going to go on again and for me they're the best side at this moment in time in world football, but I still think they've got to go and show that big-game experience."
