Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says Sergio Aguero is capable of winning the Ballon d'Or.
Pellegrini has challenged Aguero to smash the Ballon D'Or domination of La Liga duo Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He said: "I think Aguero is among the best players in the world. And I think that now it is up to him to make it and fight for the Ballon D'Or, because he has all the qualities you can ask of a football player.
"He is technically very strong, he is fast and has a lot of power. He is very intelligent, able to play in his position in between midfield and attack.
"And so we hope to see Sergio back in the form he demonstrated in the Premier League before his injuries hit him."
