Toni Kroos Gives a Hilarious Response to Iconic Sergio Aguero Statue

In recent years, Manchester City have truly proven that they are one of the biggest clubs in the world. Pep Guardiola’s men have completely dominated the competition domestically, and Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero played a huge role in that.

The former Atletico Madrid star stayed at City for over 10 years and became a fan favorite at the club. His iconic last-minute winner against Queens Park Rangers remains the greatest goal in the history of the Premier League. As a result, it was only fitting that City would build a statue to honor the man who brought them this far.

However, there was a slight issue. The Sergio Aguero statue outside the Etihad Stadium looks a lot more like Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos. Kroos acknowledged the same when journalist Simon Stone put up a tweet with the photo of the statue saying, “Sergio is here.” The German midfielder responded to that by simply asking, “Sure?”

Sergio Aguero and his retirement

All jokes aside, Aguero’s retirement was one of the saddest moments for anyone who loves the sport. The talented forward was still only 33 and had a lot of time on his side. He had recently joined FC Barcelona and had started well at the club.

However, he suffered an injury while he was playing for the club, which was later diagnosed as cardiac arrhythmia. He had to hang up his boots and messages of support rained from all over the world for the Manchester City man.

Manchester City’s UCL defeat against Real Madrid

Things haven’t been much better for City either ever since Aguero’s departure. He was the only player at the club who was an out-and-out striker, and when he left, City lost that extra edge. That didn’t affect them much in the league as Guardiola’s men seem favorites to win the title this season.

However, it was apparent in their UCL semi-final tie against Real Madrid. They were just minutes away from victory before Rodrygo scored two late goals to take the tie to extra time. Karim Benzema finished the comeback after slotting a penalty past Ederson.
