Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero experienced a heart arrhythmia during a live Twitch feed just two years after being forced to retire from playing.
The Argentina legend retired two years ago on medical advice after a heart issue was discovered shortly after he joined Barcelona, and it appears he is still affected by the issue after the scare during his live broadcast.
What Happened To Aguero?
Aguero experienced a cardiac arrhythmia on the field at Camp Nou shortly after his free transfer to Barcelona in December 2021, which was later examined by cardiologists.
A public announcement that Aguero will be leaving professional football in January 2022 was then made after it was determined that he needed to retire in order to safeguard his health and reduce the possibility of other occurrences of the same type of incident.
Furthermore, he had a pacemaker inserted to guarantee he could monitor such situations in the future.
And last week, Aguero appeared to be surprised to have a recurrence when he was holding a live Twitch session with famed Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos. The 34-year-old stated he felt a mild heart arrhythmia occur and informed Llanos – who was next to him – as it happened.

During the stream, Aguero can be seen pausing for a moment and Llanos, with a concerned look on his face, asks: “What’s happening? Are you OK?”
Aguero then puts his finger up in the air, gesturing that he is waiting for the arrhythmia to pass, and then replies: “I think… I think I just had a mini heart arryhthmia.”
Llanos asked Aguero if he wanted to go to the doctor for medical attention, but a calm Aguero quickly calmed his fears: “No, no.
“Because I have a chip and the famous chip will detect it and send a signal,” he replied, with the sound of the application confirming his initial diagnosis.
