Sergio Agüero was one of the deadliest strikers of his generation, a compact, explosive finisher blessed with a low centre of gravity and a ruthless instinct in front of goal. He emerged at Independiente before starring at Atlético Madrid, but it was at Manchester City that he became a legend.
His stoppage-time goal against Queens Park Rangers on the final day of the 2011-12 season won City their first league title in decades and became one of the defining moments in Premier League history. He finished as the club’s all-time leading scorer and a serial title winner.
With Argentina he reached a World Cup final in 2014 and finally lifted the Copa América in 2021. A heart condition forced his premature retirement soon after a brief spell at Barcelona, ending a career of remarkable consistency.
