Samir Nasri believes only Cristiano Ronaldo is superior to Sergio Aguero after the striker scored a hat trick in Manchester Citys dramatic 3-2 win over Bayern Munich. Agueros treble took his tally for the season to 17 goals, and midfielder Nasri believes the Argentine is now on a par with his close friend Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the battle to be the second-best player on the planet. Former Atletico Madrid forward Aguero has now scored five of Citys last six Champions League goals to keep alive their hopes of qualification for the last 16. And Nasri said: Every big team needs a great goalkeeper and a great goalscorer. We have them. He [Aguero] has been unbelievable this year -- and he was last year as well, when the only problem was his injury. This year, he has been more fit, and when he is one-on-one with the keeper it doesnt seem like he will miss the target. He is one of the best players at the moment. Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, who is on another planet, he is up there with Messi and Suarez. He always makes the difference, and always delivers for us in difficult moments. The statistics speak for themselves. He is a great player on his day. He is unstoppable -- we needed him, and he delivered. At the moment, he is one of best players in the world. Nasri described Citys home victory against 2013 European champions Bayern as a miracle after they had been 2-1 down with only a few minutes to go. He added: We had to win our last two games to go through. It was a miracle to still have a chance when we had two points with two games left in the group. This was a miracle. At the start of the game, we were winning 1-0, and when they had 10 men... I dont know why, but we stopped playing. You cant stop playing against a great team like Bayern, even if they have 10 men. In the second half, we made some adjustments and we played better, the way we need to play if we want to qualify. It is a great result, tonight everything is fantastic -- but we need to win in Rome, otherwise this doesnt count. We have the quality, but it is always difficult at Man City. We always win in a difficult way. We won the league three years ago in the last minute. It is always like this but, at the same time, when we win it is special and it is fantastic for us.
