Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has hailed the quality of Sergio Aguero.

Hart rates his teammate among the best strikers in the world.

"Just from working with him on a daily basis and from what I've seen this season, probably Agüero," Hart said. "He just knows how to score.

"In training he particularly excites you most days. A long clearance could turn into a goal because he's got that ability to take it round five people and score. Sergio is a very natural player." And what of Messi? "I'm backing Sergio because he's my player. But Messi is a phenomenal player. He's definitely one of the best players I've ever played against."
