M. Pellegrini: Aguero is surpassed only by Messi and Ronaldo

According to Manchester City's strategist Manuel Pellegrini, the sniper Sergio Aguero is only inferior in ability to Spanish giants Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In Saturday's Premier League match against Newcastle United, Aguero scored five goals in just 20 minutes and helped his team defeat the opponents and return to the top of the league table.

The Argentinean who won the golden boot in England last season started this season more quietly, but after his weekend performance, he already has six precise shots on goal.

"After what we saw, it is obvious that we can say that Kun (Aguero - Eurofootball) is on that level," said Pellegrini.

"I have already said that he is the best player in the world after Ronaldo and Messi."

"But the important thing is not only for Kun, but also for the team, to continue to improve."

"We need to win the Premier League again and triumph in the Champions League, because Messi and Ronaldo always play in that tournament, and for the footballers, this is very important."
