Champions League: Tottenham 1-0 Manchester City - 4 reasons Tottenham defeated Manchester City 

#3 Aguero uncharacteristically off colour

Sergio Aguero missed a penalty in the match

Sergio Aguero has cemented his legacy as the greatest player in Manchester City's history and indeed one of the greatest to ever grace the Premier League.

His performance levels since arriving Manchester in 2012 have been extraordinary, banging in goals for fun to help City to numerous domestic titles.

The 30-year-old has been Guardiola's chief attacking threat and the Catalan's trust has been rewarded, as Aguero has maintained an unbelievable record of 0.7 goals per game in the league.

To state that he is 'Mr Dependable' for City would be merely stating the obvious, as most of the club's successes in recent years have come through him.

However, in the game against Tottenham, Aguero was uncharacteristically off colour, hitting a tame VAR-awarded penalty at Lloris in the 12th minute. This was a sign of things to come for him, as the Argentine international was virtually a passenger for the rest of the match.

He failed to have another significant moment of note in the match and was hauled off to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus on 71 minutes, having made just a paltry 18 touches for the entirety of his stay on the field.

If City are to progress in this tie, then they must score at least two goals in the second leg and as such, Guardiola would be hoping there would be no repeat of the shambolic performance in North London from Aguero.
