'My goal against Barca was spectacular' – Forlan recalls incredible Atletico strike partnership with Aguero

Diego Forlan has fondly recalled the the deadly strike partnership he formed with Sergio Aguero during the pair’s time together at Atletico Madrid.

The pair spent four seasons together for Atletico, with Aguero joining from Independiente in 2006 and Forlan moving from Villarreal a year later.

They hit incredible heights together in the 2008-09 season. Aguero scored 17 goals in La Liga while Forlan plundered 32 in 33 league appearances, with the Uruguay forward winning the European Golden Shoe as a result.
