Despite the encouraging result, Aguero was less impressed with a tactical decision made by Pep Guardiola during the match.

Sportbible reports that Guardiola did not make a single substitution in the Champions League match, a move that left Aguero baffled.

The City legend slammed his former manager for the decision, insisting his fellow countryman Julian Alvarez should have been given an opportunity to play.

"What I don't understand is why he didn’t put Julián [Alvarez on]... I wonder, but well it’s Pep. He doesn’t marry anyone," he said via @City_Xtra.

"If it was up to me, I'd play Julián in almost every game - we need him to be active and have a spark," he added.

The Norwegian hotshot went into the clash off a fantastic run of form that had seen him score an eyewatering 51 goals across competitions.
