As Barcelona prepare to face Manchester City in their Champions League fixture on Wednesday, we take a quick look at how two of the greatest strikers from both sides – Messi and Aguero- compare to each other.
The two Argentines are considered to be among the greatest strikers on the planet, with Messi appearing to be more successful at the club level with Barca. But although Messi is still fresh from injury, he has been scoring goals at will for Los Blaugrana this season. Interestingly, the 29-year-old also shares a specific trait with Aguero – missing penalties. While Messi is more lethal at freekicks and one-on-one encounters with defenders and goalkeepers, scoring from the spot is not his usual cup of tea and the same case applies to Aguero.
Without further ado, here are further details on how the two superstars compare to each other ahead of the Champions League clash on Wendesday.
