Unfortunately, Aguero’s latest heart scare has brought his condition back into the spotlight. The 34-year-old has been fitted with a pacemaker after suffering a heart arrhythmia while playing for Barcelona in October 2021.
Despite receiving treatment and being cleared to play again, the former striker ultimately decided to retire from professional football just two months later.
This latest incident highlights the seriousness of heart conditions in professional athletes and the importance of taking these issues seriously.
Aguero’s fans and fellow footballers have expressed their support and concern for the former striker on social media.

Aguero’s retirement from professional football was a significant loss for the sport, as he had established himself as one of the greatest strikers of his generation.
During his career, Aguero won four Premier League titles, five League Cups, and an FA Cup with Man City. He also scored a memorable last-minute goal in the final game of the 2011/12 Premier League season to secure the title for Man City.
Aguero’s Twitch streams have become a popular way for fans to stay connected with the retired footballer and see him in a more relaxed and casual setting.
However, this latest incident serves as a reminder that his health must always come first, and fans will undoubtedly be hoping that he takes the necessary precautions to stay safe and healthy, we wish Sergio all the best and hope he can get this problem sorted.
