The two strikers who are considered ‘Great‘ by their teams have achieved a lot in their respective careers. Although Aguero and Salah did not compete exactly as they reached their prime at different times. It still won’t be wrong to say that these two will go as a legend for the fans of Manchester City and Liverpool. If lifting titles make someone a great player then these two are more than eligible to be considered among the best players of football.
Unfortunately, Aguero had to retire early due to health problems but he still has blessed us with a lot to remember about him.
1: Player Stats
The two players play in very different positions. The ex-Man City player was the main striker for the team in his prime while Salah is someone who plays on the wing being a constant threat to the opposition. Aguero is a player who was good with tight angles and weak foot goals, he would never miss inside the box under normal circumstances.
The G/A stats might be different for both these players as Aguero is 4 years older than Salah and he plays in the pole striking position making him the favourite to eat the cherry off the cake.

The Egyptian King is the clear winner in this category.
Who is the better player?
The two players have very close stats in pretty much every aspect of the game. It would be unfair to point a winner between them as they are the best to brace football in this generation.
Depending upon the comparisons made earlier it would not be wrong to say that Aguero is ahead of Salah at this point but we are pretty sure that Salah will make good use of the 4 extra years that he has left and eventually be the winner in this comparison.
