Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was in tears as he paid tribute to Sergio Aguero after his final appearance for the Blues in the Premier League.

The Argentine forward took his Premier League tally with City to 184 goals after coming off the bench against Everton to net a brace, breaking Wayne Rooney's record for most Premier League goals with a single club in the process.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the final whistle, Guardiola struggled to hold back the tears as he played tribute to the 32-year-old.

"We love him so much. He's a special person for all of us. He's so nice, so nice. He helped me a lot. We cannot replace him, we cannot," he said after the match.

"There are many players that this club have had - David Silva helped this club to be what it is. He showed his quality in 20 minutes."

Aguero could make one final appearance for City in next weekend's Champions League final, where City will look to win Europe's biggest prize for the first time against Chelsea.
