Sergio Aguero scores on his return to action in Gerard Pique's Kings League after retiring in 2021 with cardiac arrhythmia... before copying close friend Lionel Messi's celebration from Argentina's feisty World Cup clash with Holland

Sergio Aguero scored on his return to football, before copying his close friend Lionel Messi's celebration to mark his goal, having retired from football in 2021 following a cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis.

The ex-Argentina international got on the scoresheet for his own Kings League franchise KuniSports in their penalty shoot-out defeat to Porcinos FC, before making for 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 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.
