Talking to El Pais, Aguero said: “It was a moment of shock. He was very sick. When I found out I couldn’t believe it.

“That Saturday I went to see him at his house. And, because of my personality, since I didn’t see him well, I tried making him forget what had happened.

“I could see that he was half off and I was trying to distract him. I was telling him about my Esports team. And the things we were doing.”
