Messi gets his room-mate back! Sergio Aguero is bizarrely bunking with his old pal again at Argentina's team hotel ahead of the World Cup final against France... after the PSG star decided to sleep on his own after the Man City legend retired

Lionel Messi has been reunited with former team-mate and close friend Sergio Aguero, after the former Manchester City star joined the Argentina squad and is now rooming with the Argentinian skipper.

Aguero, 34, was forced to retire from football in December 2021 due to a heart condition, but travelled to Qatar for the tournament and was on hand to present Messi with his Player of the Match trophy after the 3-0 semi-final win over Croatia.

The pair are now set to be able to spend some more quality time together after Argentine outlet TYC Sports reported that Aguero has become Messi's roommate in Argentina's hotel ahead of the tournament's final.
