Former Man City striker Sergio Aguero explains brutal Camavinga 'joke' during World Cup celebrations

Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has hit back at the criticism he received for calling France and Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga a "d*** face" during Argentina's World Cup celebrations.

Lionel Scaloni's side won a breathtaking final on Sunday afternoon at the Lusail Stadium as the South American side claimed victory in a penalty shoot-out following a pulsating 120 minutes of football. Aguero was watching on as Argentina sealed their third World Cup trophy, but the former City forward made it off the sidelines to join in with the full-time celebrations.

The scenes of jubilation were clear to see on the pitch, yet it was the actions of the 34-year-old within the dressing room that landed him in hot water. Aguero, who was forced to retire last year after suffering from a heart arrhythmia, faced criticism for singing about Camavinga during a video that the former Blue streamed on his Instagram account.
