There is no denying that Sergio Aguero is one of the best strikers in world soccer. He after all led the Premier League in scoring last season and scored five goals in 20 minutes over the weekend in Manchester City's 6-1 win over Newcastle. But, is he in the same class as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? City manager Manuel Pellegrini seems to think so.
"After what we have seen [on Saturday], of course Kun [Aguero] is at that level," Pellegrini told reporters, per ESPNFC. "I have already said that, after Ronaldo and Messi, he is the best player in the world."

Aguero, who has faired much better with City than the Argentine national team (Aguero didn't score in 2014 FIFA World Cup for Argentina but scored three times in Copa America), was sensational on Saturday finishing in a variety of ways. Though he doesn't have the same appeal worldwide as Messi and Ronaldo, the talent is there as he is arguably a top 5 or top 10 player in the world.
Would you put him in the same category as Ronaldo and Messi?
If not, is there anyone you would put? I think you have Ronaldo and Messi in tier one, with tier two containing players like Aguero, Luis Suarez, Neymar, Gareth Bale and Robert Lewandowski.
