Despite the controversial move, the Argentine said he got in touch with David Luiz to apologize. The Brazilian wasn’t bothered by the move and said he wasn’t hurt by the rival striker.
“Later I wrote to him, I spoke to him on the phone and he said ‘no brother, this is in the field, stay calm'”, he reported.
Agüero was sidelined in 2021 after discovering a heart condition. Currently aged 34, the former player made history for Manchester City, wearing the club’s shirt for 10 years and becoming the top scorer in the team’s history, with 260 goals in 390 matches.
