Man City legend Sergio Aguero allowed to lift World Cup as Argentina beat France on penalties

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero was allowed the opportunity to lift the World Cup on the pitch in Lusail after a thrilling penalty shootout victory for Argentina against France.

Aguero made 101 appearances for the Argentina first team scoring 41 goals during that time. However, his international and domestic playing career was cut short a year ago after doctor's discovered a cardiac arrhythmia.

The 34-year-old has been in and around the Argentina camp throughout the tournament in Qatar offering support for his ex-teammates. He would end up having one of the best seats in the house for the thrilling final as Lionel Messi inspired his country to glory.
