Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero experienced a heart scare while livestreaming with a celebrity friend. Sergio Aguero appeared to grip the left side of his chest while looking worried during a live with Spanish YouTube star Ibai Llanos. He then looked at his phone to see if the heart monitor had picked up anything strange.

Sergio Aguero briefly paused in the middle of a Twitch stream on Wednesday night and held his chest. The Argentine paused briefly before acknowledging that he had experienced a “mini-arrhythmia.” The Argentine, who was forced to retire from professional football at the age of 33 in December 2021 owing to a heart issue, abruptly stopped speaking and put his palm to his chest.

Sergio Aguero sends scares after he abruptly stops talking while hand on his chest

Sergio Aguero has been busy with livestreaming on popular platform Twitch since hanging up his boots from the professional game. But it was on Wednesday night, a mini heart arrhythmia occurred while he was streaming. Ibai Llanos, a well-known streamer, asked Sergio Aguero whether he required medical attention, to which the former striker quickly replied that he didn’t.

Ibai Llanos asked Aguero, who had his hand on the chest and had abruptly stopped talking: “What’s the matter?”

Aguero appeared to take a moment to catch his breath before responding with obvious disbelief: “Ooohh. I think….I think that I just suffered a minor arrhythmia.”

He then appeared to be checking his pulse before examining a monitor on his phone.

Ibai responded, visibly shocked and worried: “Right now? Do you want us to go see a doctor?”

But Aguero calmed down his friend: “No. I have a chip and the famous chip is going to detect the situation. It would send a signal because perhaps it’s just something that’s in my head.”

Aguero lamented that his phone’s battery was getting low but added: “It was very strange. I definitely felt something out of the normal circuit.”

He then exclaimed in a lighthearted manner: “Imagine I end up dying!”

Ibai replied with concern: “Shall we finish off this live anyway?”

Before the live stream came to a close, the couple smiled at each other. A message then showed on the screen, stating that they had waited for a message from the doctor but that it had not come in time for them to finish the recording session. Also, it made reference to Aguero’s nickname:

“Take care Kun, we love you.”

Sergio Aguero assured his followers not to be worried in an update he posted through a video. He said in the video:

“Many are asking me how I am, but don’t worry, it was stupid. The doctors told me that everything is fine. Don’t worry, I’m still here, heh.”

Aguero ended his glittering career when testing revealed he had an abnormal pulse. He had recently moved from Manchester City to Barcelona just before his heart condition manifested. In the end of October 2021, he was brought to the hospital while clutching his chest and complaining of respiration and dizziness during a match versus Alves. He was caught on camera in February 2022 tugging up his top to reveal his microchip implant, joking that his girlfriend Sophie Calzetti had put it there so she could keep tabs on his whereabouts.
