Speaking to FIFA in the buildup to the competition, City legend Aguero believes his former side could potentially challenge for the new, glamorous trophy.

"They’re always favourites, and it all comes down to their mentality, as it’s not easy to always carry the tag of favourites. City are where they are because Guardiola knows how to keep that mindset,” he stated.

"They’ve been doing the same thing for years, which is why they’re favourites. Pep simply never rests. Nor will you see him playing a different way; he's going to play the same way he always does, even if he loses.

“He’s not going to change his style, and that’s something positive. He’s got a great bunch of players – a dream team you could say, and Pep knows how to talk to them."

“I expect our sides to really battle – it’s something that comes natural to we South Americans.

"I also believe it's very important for clubs to be at this tournament. It's not going to be easy, but I think they'll do their utmost to go as far as possible and ensure South America comes out of it with its head held high."
