Manchester City legend, Sergio Aguero, at the weekend scored on his return to football.
Aguero then performed his close friend Paris Saint-Germain Lionel Messi’s celebration to mark his goal, having retired from professional football in 2021 following a cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis.
The former Argentina international got on the scoresheet for his own Kings League franchise KuniSports in their penalty shoot-out 3-2 loss to Porcinos FC before running to the corner flag and replicating Messi’s hands-behind-the-ears pose.
It was revealed Aguero would be making a one-off return to football this month after receiving an all-clear for Ecuador’s Barcelona SC, but he appeared to bring himself up to speed in the Kings League, which sent social media into a meltdown as fans tried to work out who the ‘masked winger’ was.
Aguero grabbed the equalizer for his side as the match ended 2-2.
The 34-year-old had received a pass on his chest before he took a touch out of his feet and fired a left-footed shot into the bottom corner with a finish.
