# Manchester City: Fans expose Chelsea legend Didier Drogba in Aguero debate

**When it comes to statistics, Sergio Aguero appears to be miles ahead of Didier Drogba, with the Argentine having scored [80 more goals in around 30 less appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-aguero/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/26399) when you [compare the club records](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/didier-drogba/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3924) – with Manchester City supporters quickly leaping to their forward’s defence when the simple debate of ‘who is better?’ came up.**

In this debate, what Drogba has going for him is his big game impact – including that [famous Champions League final equaliser and winning penalty](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/18044385) which gave the club their first ever European Cup.

As for Aguero, he has the numbers and the fact that he is City’s all-time top scorer with his fair share of big moments – one of them being[that title-winning goal against QPR](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfTWp5dKkDc) back in 2012.

Bearing all of that in mind, a Chelsea fan on Twitter tried to argue that the African had scored more goals against bigger sides in the league and Europe.

In response, however, a City supporter revealed stats that actually showed that Aguero, again, holds the superior numbers in that regard.

Here’s how City fans reacted to the Drogba debate.

> Mental how much one performance in a CL final and nostalgia has overrated this guy. Ronaldo has never won a CL so using that logic Drogba must be better

> Drogba was a bit of a fraud in regular league games, he just turned up when it mattered most which is why hes remembered so well but I’d take Aguero over him

> Not to add that the old top 6 were not as good as when Aguero was here.

> Aguero is definitely better than Drogba

> Aguero and Aubameyang and Cavani

> All same type of players and strikers
>
> All are better than Drogba
>
> Giroud is the same level as Drogba

> Divock Origi has as good a CL CV as Drogba has lol, he must be just as good then. Also using that logic Eden Hazard must be a complete fraud then, as he literally doesn’t have a single notable CL performance
