David Silva has claimed that winning the Premier League with Manchester City would be on a par with winning the World Cup with Spain.
Silva has been a key member of City's title push, and he believes that there are similarities between the time that they have had to wait for a title and the time Spain had to wait for international honours.
"The Premier League and the World Cup are equally important to me. After winning such an important title as the World Cup, to win the Premier League and to see supporters in Manchester who have waited so long to win it would be important to me," Silva told The Guardian.
"Of course the World Cup came after the European Championship for Spain [in 2008], so people were used to winning. It's fantastic to see how people forget all the bad things in life when they start celebrating a title like that after so many years.
"I want Manchester people to enjoy this feeling."
City currently sit at the top of the table, two points clear of local rivals Manchester United.
