Sergio Aguero retires from football: Argentine footballer's life in pictures

The Argentine forward Sergio Aguero announced his retirement from football on Wednesday (December 15) due to a heart condition. Aguero had been out of action after suffering chest pains during Barca's 1-1 draw against Alaves in LaLiga on October 30. The 33-year-old was taken to a hospital for tests and subsequently diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia, after which he was ruled out for three months. However, Aguero did not make his return to the field and has now chosen to hang up his boots after an illustrious 18-year career. Here, we take a look at his life, in pictures.
