Prior to Argentina’s upcoming quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, Lionel Messi joined Sergio Aguero’s Twitch live stream, and things got seriously wholesome between the two.
For the first time since 2006, Messi is without his good friend and former international teammate Sergio Aguero in a major tournament.
The 34-year-old former Manchester City and Barcelona forward announced his retirement last year after being diagnosed with heart arrhythmia.
Months later and Aguero headed to Qatar to support the Argentina national team. Although, he didn’t get to visit the likes of Messi and Di Maria when he first arrived – much to his annoyance.
Since touching down in the Middle East, Argentina have beaten the likes of Poland and Mexico in the group stages and last weekend, they secured their place in the quarter-finals after a 2-1 win against Australia.
Ahead of Friday night’s game against Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands side, Lionel Messi and co. got together to speak to former teammate Aguero on streaming service Twitch.
They former roommates had a lengthy chat on stream. In fact, the subject of them sharing a room cropped up in conversation when Aguero asked where Messi was.

“Where you guys are?” the former Man City forward asked. Messi responded: “In our room” before Aguero, who was visibly emotional during the conversation, replied: “In our…?”
At the end of their call, Messi wanted to let his friend know that they were still thinking of him out in Qatar.
“Thank you for calling us, We love you,” the PSG forward said.
“You are not here with us, but we’re remembering you everyday, you and Gio (Lo Celso). I want to greet all the people who watched us, bye.”
Aguero responded: “Good luck on Friday boys, whatever happens, you are phenomenons, love you.”
