Barcelona star, Sergio Kun Aguero has retired from football at the age of 33 due to heart problem he suffered few months ago.

The Argentine striker joined the Catalans last summer after his contract expired at English Premier League side Manchester City. Aguero is one of the best players in the game but suffered a career ending ailment which saw him withdrawn from the match against Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish La Liga.

Aguero held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon in which he announced his retirement from the lovely sport he featured in from small. My health comes first. Medical staff have told me it's best to stop playing and so I'm now leaving Barcelona and retiring from professional football," he said. "I want to share my gratitude to everyone, regardless of where I've played ... Atlético Madrid ... Manchester City ... Barça." He would be remembered for the last minute goal he scored against QPR that won Manchester City their first league title in years.
