Messi or Aguero: Guardiola clarifies comparison after hat-trick

Manchester City beat Aston Villa and following the game, Pep Guardiola was asked whether Sergio Aguero was the best striker he’d managed. Aguero had scored his 12th Premier League hat-trick. Agüero has scored more hat-tricks than any other player in Premier League history (12), overtaking Alan Shearer. The Argentinian is now the outright fifth-highest scoring player in Premier League history "The best is Messi," he smiled, before a follow-up enquiry pondered whether Aguero was the finest out-and-out striker he had handled in his decorated career. The journalist wanted to clarify his question, asking whether the Man City forward was the best 'out and out 'number 9'. That didn't change the answer. "Messi is number 9, number 10, number 11, number 7, number 6, number 5, number 4... But Sergio [Agüero], [out of] the rest, is absolutely one of them."  Source- AS
