Sergio Agüero’s 5 most popular quotes
- The fact that an Englishman has an Argentinian as an idol is very rare. I keep watching my [title-winning] goal against QPR and every time I get more emotional. My plan is to stay here because I’m convinced Manchester City will be at the same level as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
- I like to think that people who really know me understand I am the same person – and that is something I will always fight to maintain. Obviously the money is there, but I want to stay the same. At the same time I want my son to enjoy what I didn’t have. My father-in-law often looks at all the toys and games Benjamín has.
- I find it embarrassing when people compare me to Maradona. How can they? There is only one Maradona. People who say this just have no idea, they don’t know what they are talking about. Diego was a complete one-off who will never have an equal on the football pitch. No-one, I repeat no-one, could have transformed teams like he did. Maradona was the world’s greatest-ever player while I’m just an apprentice.
- Messi won 3 Ballons d’Or and is competing for another one. He will be the best player in the world until he retires.
- Nowadays, Messi is better than Ronaldinho. He is the best footballer in the world right now. And I’m not the only who says so. Everyone who has seen him play says so too.
