• Sergio Aguero believes that Manchester City can still challenge Arsenal for the Premier League title this season
• The former Man City striker believes Lionel Messi is the only football player who can win a league on his own
• Aguero is backing Erling Haaland to break more records but feels the Citizens will need a team effort to beat Arsenal

No one believes in Lionel Messi's abilities as much as Sergio Aguero.

The former Manchester City attacker has once again praised the veteran's skill level, while discussing the Citizens' chances of catching Arsenal.

Why did Aguero praise Messi?

Aguero was asked about City's chances of winning the Premier League title, especially with Erling Haaland in the squad, but Kun believes it would take a team effort to get the job done.

He then added that only Messi could single-handedly win a title for his side, SportsKeeda reported.

"Excepting Leo, there's no one player who can win a league on their own. It's about the team, and City's got a very talented roster and an exceptional staff. They'll fight until the very end."

Aguero's thoughts on Haaland

While Aguero stated that Haaland couldn't get the job done on his own, he did back the Norwegian to break records and play a major part in his former team's title chase.

Haaland's impressive season

The Man City striker has been on fire this season and has shown no signs of having to adjust to the physicality of the Premier League.

Below are his stats in all competitions so far this season.

Aguero picks possible league winners

Sports Brief also reported on Aguero sending Arsenal a warning, as they eye Premier League glory for the first time since 2004.

The Gunners have emerged as the firm favourites to win the English top flight league this season, after a bright start to the campaign.

Despite Arsenal's advantage in the title race, Aguero contends there are at least three clubs still able to rival Mikel Arteta's men for the title.
