Man City boss Guardiola: Incredible Aguero just like Romario; a lion in the jungle

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has paid tribute to Sergio Aguero ahead of his farewell Premier League game against Everton.

Aguero will get the chance to say goodbye to City's home fans on Sunday.

His manager said, "He is incredible. He is humble, being the legend he is.

"I cannot imagine how many more goals he would have scored if he was able to be fitter in some periods of those seasons.

"He is loved by the backroom staff because he is a very nice person and the quality of the player.

"His numbers were incredible and I'm sure the fans will pay tribute to him tomorrow for what he has done for this club."

Guardiola continued: "When he fit and has continuity, he is like Romario in Brazil.

"In a 5m space he is like a lion in the jungle. He is so quick and the quality to make the goal.

"For as long as he plays, he will score goals."
