His dramatic late goal against QPR in 2012 secured the first of two Premier League titles City have won since his arrival and he bagged his second hat-trick of the current season during Wednesday’s 4-0 Champions League win over Borussia Monchengladbach. Argentine worldwide Sergio Aguero was the star man for his side, netting a hat-trick.

Guardiola has won all seven of his competitive matches since his appointment as City manager and his team are now leading the Premier League.
The young striker chose to dwell on a fantastic Manchester City team performance ahead of personal milestones as he reflected on the game afterwards.
Monchengladbach executive Yann Sommer in like way passed on two short closeness recoveries to deny Aguero, as Guardiola’s side finished 23 tries at focus against control which completed fourth in last season’s Bundesliga. “That’s why Man City won so clearly”. And Guardiola warned the Belgium worldwide that he is not guaranteed to come straight back into the side because of the fine form of Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones.
Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is set to sign a contract extension. I’m so happy. I knew how hard and important this game was. “We knew they’d press us high, particularly the first 25 minutes, and exert their power on us”.
“We’ll see, we’ll talk to the doctors”.
Raheem Sterling’s first Premier League hat-trick came against Bournemouth in October 2015.
It’s an incredible time to be a Manchester City fan at the moment, with the Blues in top form and playing some sublime football, most are eager for the next game to start as soon as another has finished.
However, as long as Aguero continues to contribute to his team’s relentless aggression without the ball, Guardiola believes the goals will take care of themselves.
As quoted by The Guardian, he replied when asked about Aguero’s contract situation; “I think he’s going to extend the contract but it’s not official”. It’s our job. We need them in the Champions League to beat the best teams in the world.
“I think he’s a good player, no?”
Silva pulled out of the Champions League victory over Borussia with a minor injury but, while Gundogan impressed on debut as his replacement, the German is easing back into action after a five-month lay-off.
“We played well. We probably could have scored a few more goals”, the City defender said. Without that you can not compete at a level every three days for 11 months.

Asked if he will soon be facing a selection dilemma in the centre-back position, Guardiola said: “Absolutely not”.
