Manuel Pellegrini hailed Sergio Aguero as 'one of the best strikers in the world' following his hat-trick against Bayern Munich last night.
Aguero's sensational performance revived City's hopes in the Champions League.
The prolific Argentinian took his goal tally for the season to 17 as he followed up an early penalty by striking twice in the last five minutes to hand City a dramatic 3-2 win at the Etihad Stadium.
It was City's first win in the competition this season and gives them hope of reaching the last 16 with victory at Roma next month.
Aguero's match-winning display had his manager gushing: "Well I always say Sergio is one of the best five players in the world so he must believe every time when he plays that he must play the way he did today with the intensity and with concentration," added Pellegrini.
"He is one of the best players in the world."
But how does he compare with the best strikers of the Premier League era? James Olley picks his top 10.
