Sergio Aguero reveals he didn't want to leave Man City and was shocked when Lionel Messi exited Barcelona... as he opens up on being forced to retire with a heart problem

Sergio Aguero has reflected on his short stay at Barcelona and having to retire from the game due to a heart problem.

Aguero was a hugely prolific striker during his heyday and is best-known for a decorated 10-year spell with Man City.

The Argentine - who scored 41 times in 101 caps for his country - remains City's all-time leading goalscorer with 260 goals.

But after slipping down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola, the club revealed in March 2021 that he would leave that summer upon the expiry of his contract.
