‘
Has there ever been a City
player that has had so many
‘big’ moments? The 93:20
is the most obvious, but I
depicted this in the ‘Dream
Scene’ so I went for his Premier
League record-breaking strike
(by a foreign player) in January
2020. I have used a bit of
artistic license as he scored this
in an away game against Villa in
a black kit. I wanted all players
to be in the home kit so it was
an all-blue scene.

The same day as his record-breaking
strike in January 2020, Agüero netted
a treble for the 12th time to set a new
Premier League hat-trick record. He
already had the Manchester City goal
scoring record after netting his 178th
in the Champions League clash at
Napoli in 2017. He surpassed the
long-standing tally of 1930s club hero
Eric Brook, when he struck in the 69th
minute at the San Paolo Stadium. The
landmark goal came in Agüero’s 264th
appearance for City.
Agüero has maintained a prolific
scoring rate since netting twice on
debut against Swansea six years ago.
Often considered to be one of the
best strikers in the world, Agüero is
regarded as an all-out centre forward,
although he is a versatile player due to
his passing ability, link-up play, tactical
intelligence, and vision.
Agüero has a diminutive figure
with a stocky build. This has led to
comparisons with former Manchester
City teammates, Carlos Tevez and
Diego Maradona.
Although naturally right footed, Agüero
is also capable of striking well with his
left foot. He can also finish well, both
inside and outside the area, with his
powerful and accurate shot.
