MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero could equal the club's all-time goalscoring record in Tuesday's Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk and his manager Pep Guardiola believes he has become one of the best strikers in the world.

Aguero's goal in the 5-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday took him to within one goal of equalling Eric Brook’s record for City with his 176th goal for the club in all competitions.
