'I thrive off proving people wrong' - Sterling feeding off media criticism

The England international says he is desperate to become one of the best players in the world, as he bids to live up to his early potential

Manchester City star Raheem Sterling says he loves to prove people wrong, as he continues to prove his worth to Pep Guardiola's side.

Sterling, after helping England to the World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1990, has been in electric form for City thus far this season.

He has scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 17 games in all competitions, yet he has often been criticised in the media for his off-field activities.
