Sergio Aguero might have left Manchester City almost a whole year ago, but that doesn't mean that his connection with the Blues isn't as strong as ever.
After being forced into retirement in December due to a heart condition, City's all-time record goalscorer has been hard at work building himself a career in football media. Aguero has been a regular on the live streaming platform Twitch for a while now, with his broadcast proving so popular that he has recently partnered with Disney and ESPN to contribute to the Disney+ and Star+ streaming platforms.
The Argentine provided watch-a-long coverage of City's thrilling 4-3 defeat of Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday, and he did not disappoint. Joined on the broadcast by former City teammate Mario Balotelli, Aguero couldn't contain his celebrations when Phil Foden scored City's third goal of the night. Aguero acted as an idol and father-like figure for Foden when the youngster broke into Pep Guardiola's squad, and it's clear that the admiration is mutual.

"My prince! My blue prince!" Aguero exclaimed when Foden scored. He then explained to Balotelli the role he played in Foden's rise at City.
"Foden started playing when I told him [Guardiola]. I said on camera, 'Pep, make Foden a starter'. Pep listened to me and he did."
Whether those claims are exaggerated or not, only Sergio knows. But one thing is for certain: there's definitely a career in football commentary for him! Certainly, City fans on Twitter enjoyed it.
