Sergio Aguero has given further explanation about his heart problems. The Argentine was forced to put an end to his football career in mid-December, after cardiac arrhythmias were again revealed during his short period at Barcelona, ​​something he also had to contend with at a young age. The former professional football player says he is concerned.

“Now when I try to play football or tennis, I get out of breath when I want to sprint. I just feel like my heart isn’t working right,” Agüero said on his Twitch channel. The 33-year-old Argentinian last played on October 30, 2021 against Deportivo Alavés (1-1). He was replaced in the LaLiga game just before half-time due to chest pain. An initial diagnosis in the hospital showed that Agüero was suffering from cardiac arrhythmias.

Agüero says he initially thought he could shake off fears about his health, but quickly realized how serious the situation was. “The first fifteen days I had a terrible time,” he says. “When it happened I thought it was nothing and that everything would be fine, but when I got to the hospital and they left me alone in a small room with a lot of monitors around me, I realized that something bad about the hand wash. And after two days in the hospital, I started to get nervous.”

Agüero made his professional football debut in 2004 at the age of fifteen in the shirt of Independiente. He later played five successful seasons for Atlético Madrid. In 230 games for los Colchoneros he was good for 100 goals. It earned the Argentine attacker a transfer to Manchester City in 2011, where he has continued his goal drive for the past ten years. In the shirt of the leader in the Premier League, Aguero scored 260 goals in 390 matches. He scored 41 goals in 101 games for the Argentina national team. Only Lionel Messi and Gabriel Batistuta managed to find the net more often la Albiceleste†

Due to the heart problems, Agüero’s adventure at Barcelona was not a success. He scored his first and only goal for the Catalans on October 24, in el Clásico against Real Madrid (1-2 loss). In total, he came to only five duels for the Catalan superpower. The attacker said goodbye to football with an impressive record. He became Olympic champion with Argentina and he twice won the World Under 20 Championship. Last summer Agüero also conquered the Copa América with the national team. With Manchester City he won five Premier League titles and six times the League Cup.
