Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero talks about Pep's treble-winning Barcelona side and the current City squad.
Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero believes that Pep Guardiola's treble-winning Barcelona team cannot be compared to his current Manchester City side, even if they win the treble as well.
The Cityzens have been crowned Premier League champions and are two finals away from clinching a historic treble—an FA Cup final against Manchester United and a UCL final against Inter Milan.

“It is not comparable because the times are different and the leagues too,” he told Stake.com
“But they are surely teams that left and leave their mark and that have their place in history.
“The one from Barca with a midfield that is one of the best of all time, with Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta and, fundamentally, due to the presence of Messi, which makes it unrepeatable.
