Sergio Aguero insists Inter Miami would win the Premier League with Lionel Messi, as the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has been voted as the Greatest South American player of all time by fans.
Sharing his thoughts on the upcoming Copa America this week, the ex-Manchester City striker revealed that David Beckham‘s MLS team would upset the likes of the Top Four to be the best side in England with his former international teammate.
‘I think they would win the league,’ said Aguero, 36, adding: ‘They have Messi that is the GOAT, and with him, even winning the Premier is possible.
‘I’ve played with the GOAT, and it was great to spend the day with some of his kind!’
Aguero, who never managed to play with Messi at club level, also predicted that Argentina has strong chances to build on its World Cup title from nearly two years ago.

‘If Argentina can win [the] Copa America, then they can cement their legacy as one of the greatest teams of all time.
‘Argentina is always a candidate… but, pressure? I don’t think so. I think we’re used to this. Now, it’s about preserving the style and team-concept we’ve developed.
‘We won what we’ve won because of this.’
Despite playing together in several Copa Americas, Aguero & Messi never played together at club level
Defending champion Argentina’s 15 Copa America titles are tied with Uruguay for the most in the history of the competition, which is the oldest in international soccer — even predating the Olympic and World Cup tournaments.
It would be extremely surprising if Messi and Co. don’t progress from a relatively straightforward group, with Argentina drawn with Peru, Canada and Chile.
With the tournament starting on Thursday, Argentina will first face Canada in Atlanta, Georgia as the opening fixture.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami will face the Columbus Crew without Messi on Wednesday night.
