Sergio Aguero might not be playing a role for Argentina on the pitch, but the Manchester City legend will play his part off it ahead of the World Cup final.
That's because after years of rooming together on international duty, Aguero reportedly reunited with Lionel Messi at Argentina's team hotel following their comprehensive 3-0 win against Croatia. The ex-City striker, who made the difficult decision to hang up his boots aged 33 in December 2021 due to a heart condition, had presented Messi with the Player of the Match award after his semi-final heroics on Tuesday - richly deserved given his well-taken penalty and magnificent assist.
Although the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner won't be able to count on Aguero as his strike partner against reigning champions France this Sunday, he'll at least be able to some spend quality time with his old pal in the build-up. Argentine outlet TYC Sports claim that Messi has now been joined by his former teammate at the Albiceleste's base in Doha immediately.
