Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised Argentinian footballer Sergio Aguero on Sunday after scoring a hat-trick in his second home game against Hiddersfield Town in the second round of the Primera Liga.

"Aguero has returned ideally after his surgery and feels more free," Guardiola told a news conference. "He missed last season because of a lot of problems, but he does not just score goals now, he passes and he does, never stops."

"When that happens, we can say that he is one of the best strikers in the world without a doubt. Since he recently returned to the charity shield and to Arsenal, he has become perfect."

For his part, Aguero - Manchester City - spoke of his arrival in the 13th "hat trick" in his career with the Celestial Team, pointing out at the same time that what is of interest in the first place is to achieve the team of victories. "Thirteen, which is great," Aguero said.
