He started playing for the side, becoming the youngest player to debut in the division at 15 years and 35 days ( on 5 July 2003 against Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro ), when Independiente 's coach, Oscar Ruggeri sent Agüero onto the field as a substitute for Emanuel Rivas in the 69th minute of the match. His performance was well received by the press. Despite his early debut, Agüero was not selected again by Ruggeri, and his replacement Osvaldo Sosa, for the remainder of 2002 -- 03 season, having made only one appearance in the Torneo Clausura. Following the arrival of coach Jose Omar Pastoriza, seven months after Agüero 's first match he returned to the club 's first - team in 4 -- 2 win against Peru 's Cienciano during the group stages of the 2004 Copa Libertadores. This meant that Agüero also became the youngest player to participate in the Copa Libertadores, a record that he held for three years. One month later, Agüero again featured in a Copa Libertadores fixture against Ecuador 's El Nacional. On 19 June, for the first time, Agüero played a full 90 - minute match for Independiente against Atlético de Rafaela during the Torneo Clausura. He scored his first goal for Independiente in a 2 -- 2 draw against Estudiantes on 26 November, with a 22nd minute shot from outside the penalty area. Agüero became a regular in the club 's first - team, being selected for the Argentina U-20 squad for the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which Argentina won. During the 2005 -- 06 season, Agüero scored 18 goals in 36 league appearances, having missed two games due to suspension. In a 4 -- 0 win against Racing on 11 September, Agüero dribbled from inside of his own half and scored Independiente 's fourth goal with a left footed shot. His first red card came in the Torneo Apertura, after slapping an opponent in a match against Tiro Federal. His outstanding performances during the Torneo Apertura attracted interest from a number of large European clubs, and, after months of speculation, Agüero announced on TV in April that he intended to leave the club at the end of the season. Before the end of the season, there had already been speculation of a possible transfer to Atlético Madrid. With his performances being lauded by the press, there was talk of a possible call up for Agüero for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In a 2 -- 0 away victory against Olimpo de Bahia Blanca in round 17 of the Torneo Clausura, Agüero received his fifth yellow card of the season. This prevented him from playing his last game for Independiente in a fixture against Boca Juniors in Avellaneda one week later. The yellow card brought tears to the eyes of Agüero, as television cameras recorded. Agüero, who scored Independiente 's second goal of the match later said `` I think that it was my last goal for Independiente ''. He played his last game for Independiente, two weeks later, in a 2 -- 0 away defeat to Rosario Central.

In the 2007 -- 08 season, he finished third highest scorer in La Liga, behind Daniel Güiza and Luís Fabiano, with 19 goals, and was runner up in the Trofeo Alfredo Di Stéfano award. Agüero won many plaudits for his man of the match display against Barcelona in March 2008, scoring twice, assisting a goal and winning a penalty for Atlético in a 4 -- 2 win. He also scored important goals against the likes of Real Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla and Villarreal to help Atlético finish fourth and qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over ten years. Agüero with Atlético Madrid. 2008 -- 09 season Agüero was once again a regular goalscorer for Atlético in the 2008 -- 09 season, continuing to establish a lethal partnership with Uruguayan striker Diego Forlán, also a former Independiente player.

Atlético finished fourth in the league, qualifying for the following season 's Champions League. 2009 -- 10 season Despite not being as prolific in front of goal, Agüero had another good season in 2009 -- 10, and was praised for his influential performances as Atlético enjoyed their most successful season in over a decade. On 3 November 2009, he scored twice against Chelsea during a 2 -- 2 draw in the Champions League at the Vicente Calderón. Atlético were knocked out of the competition, but went on to reach the final of the 2009 -- 10 UEFA Europa League, where Agüero assisted both goals in a 2 -- 1 extra time win against English club Fulham. He also helped Atlético reach the final of the Copa del Rey, although this time they were not victorious, losing to Sevilla in the Camp Nou on 19 May.

In a 4 -- 3 win, he scored his first career hat - trick, the second goal being his 100th for the Colchoneros. Failure to celebrate any of the goals, however, led to speculation that he would be on his way out of the club. On 23 May 2011, Agüero announced on his official website that he wanted to move from Atlético and formally asked to be released from his contract. Agüero later spoke to ESPN, where he stated that he would `` not be returning to Atlético ''. On the same day that Agüero officially became a Manchester City player, Atlético hosted a 2011 -- 12 Europa League qualifier against Strømsgodset IF, where a group of Atlético fans brandished `` Agüero, We Hope You Die '' banners in a reaction to the striker 's £ 38 million move to City at the Vicente Calderón on 28 July 2011, after he had previously stated his desire to see out his contract with the club just weeks before requesting a transfer.

On 30 September, Agüero earned and converted a last - minute penalty to give City a 2 -- 1 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Champions League group stage. On 3 October, Agüero scored five goals against Newcastle in a 6 -- 1 comeback win, joining Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Jermain Defoe and Dimitar Berbatov in scoring as many in a Premier League game. His five goals within 23 minutes of game time made it the fastest five - goal haul since the Premier League started in 1992. Four minutes after scoring his fifth goal in the 62nd minute, Agüero was substituted by manager Manuel Pellegrini, as he had been receiving treatment due to a leg injury at half time. On 8 October, in a 2018 World Cup qualifying match against Ecuador, Agüero sustained a hamstring injury early on and was carried off the pitch in tears. Agüero himself said he expected to be out for around four weeks ( in which the derby against Manchester United was to be played ), although several media outlets later claimed the injury would last for eight weeks. He returned on 21 November, scoring in a 1 -- 4 home loss to Liverpool ; this was his 85th Premier League goal, making him the top - scoring South American of all time in the division, ahead of his compatriot and former strike partner Carlos Tevez. On 16 April 2016, Agüero scored a hat - trick in a 3 -- 0 win at Chelsea, ending with a penalty kick. He became the third visiting player to score a Premier League hat - trick at Stamford Bridge, and the fifth player to have three 20 - goal seasons in the division. Three days later, he scored his 100th Premier League goal in a 1 -- 1 draw at Newcastle. He reached the century in 147 games, second only to Alan Shearer who did so in 124. The goal was also Agüero 's sixth against Newcastle for the season, making his just the sixth player in the Premier League era to have scored six goals against the same club in a single campaign. Agüero ended the 2015 -- 16 Premier League season with 24 goals, one behind Golden Boot winner Harry Kane and level with Jamie Vardy. However, with his goals coming from 30 appearances, Agüero recorded the league 's best goals to minute ratio. 2016 -- 17 season On 13 August 2016, Agüero scored Manchester City 's first competitive goal under the management of Pep Guardiola in a 2 -- 1 victory against Sunderland on the opening day of the 2016 -- 17 Premier League season. In a league match against West Ham on 28 August, Agüero struck opponent Winston Reid in the throat with his arm, an incident which went unpunished by the referee. Reid lost his voice with the strike, and had to be substituted. The FA gave Agüero a three - match ban for violent conduct, accusing him of behaving in an `` aggressive manner that was excessive in force and brutal ''. On 5 November 2016, Agüero scored his 150th goal for Manchester City in a 1 -- 1 draw against Middlesbrough in the league. Agüero was sent off in a 1 -- 3 loss to Chelsea on 3 December for a tackle on David Luiz and was given a four - match suspension. `` He 's a legend, and it 's a part of history in the club. Aguero 's numbers speak for themselves -- he is amazing. '' `` '' -- Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola on Agüero after he scored a hat - trick against Watford, putting him two goals away from becoming club record scorer. 2017 -- 18 season Having scored on Manchester City 's opening fixture of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion on 12 August 2017, Agüero scored his second goal of the season against Liverpool in a 5 -- 0 win on 9 September. This was his 124th Premier League goal, and made him overtake Trinidadian Dwight Yorke as the top - scoring non-European in the competition 's history. One week later, Agüero scored his sixth Premier League hat - trick in a 6 -- 0 win at Watford to put Manchester City top of the league. On 21 September, Agüero was involved in a road accident after attending a Maluma concert in Amsterdam, when his taxi crashed into a lamppost. He was left with a fractured rib and ruled out for two weeks. On 21 October, Agüero scored his 177th goal for Manchester City in a 3 -- 0 win over Burnley, equalling the record set by Eric Brook. This was also the Citizens ' 11th straight win, equalling another club record. He scored his record 178th goal for the team on 1 November away at Napoli in a Champions League group game, a 4 -- 2 win that sent his team through to the knockout stages of the competition. International career Youth Teams Agüero was selected for the Argentina U17 team to participate at the 2004 U-16 South American Championship in Paraguay in September. He participated in all of Argentina 's group stage matches, scoring in a 2 -- 1 win against the United States and a 3 -- 1 win against Ecuador to help Argentina finish top of their group. Agüero scored in the 47th minute of Argentina 's 1 -- 0 quarter - final victory against Peru, setting up a semi-final match against Colombia which Argentina lost 2 -- 0. Agüero represented Argentina at two FIFA World Youth Championships, winning back - to - back world titles. He was part of the team that won the 2005 edition in the Netherlands, alongside his future 2008 Olympics squad teammates Fernando Gago and Lionel Messi. At the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, held in Canada, Agüero scored twice and helped set up three goals in a 6 -- 0 win over Panama in the second game of the group stage of the tournament. He then scored the only goal in Argentina 's third match against North Korea from a free kick. Having qualified to the round of 16, he scored two of the three goals against Poland that would eventually give them a 3 -- 1 win to advance to the next round. Argentina defeated Mexico in the quarter - finals and Chile in the semi-finals, and faced the Czech Republic in the finals, a team they drew 0 -- 0 in the group stage. Agüero captained and scored the equaliser in the 62nd minute, leading to a 2 -- 1 victory. In addition, Agüero won the Golden Boot of the tournament, scoring six goals in seven, and the Golden Ball as the best player of the tournament. As a member of the Argentine squad for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Agüero scored two goals in the space of five minutes in the semi-final 3 -- 0 win over Brazil on 19 August 2008. Argentina went on to win its second consecutive gold medal at the Olympic tournament. Senior team At age 18, Agüero made his senior debut for Argentina in a friendly with Brazil, played at Emirates Stadium, England on 3 September 2006. A year later, he scored his first international goal in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Bolivia, and went on to score three more times as the Albiceleste successfully qualified for the finals in South Africa. Agüero taking on two Swiss players in an international friendly in 2012 Agüero was chosen for the 2010 FIFA World Cup squad, and made his FIFA World Cup debut in Argentina 's second group match against South Korea on 12 June 2010, replacing Carlos Tevez in the 75th minute. Agüero 's impact was immediate as Argentina scored in the next minute. He assisted on Gonzalo Higuaín 's hat - trick goal late in the game. Argentina won the game 4 -- 1. Argentina, however, subsequently lost to Germany in the quarter - finals. Agüero was named in the 23 - man squad for the 2011 Copa América where Argentina had been drawn into Group A with Bolivia, Colombia, and Costa Rica. On 1 July, in Argentina 's opening group stage match against Bolivia, he came on for Ezequiel Lavezzi on 71 minutes and scored an equaliser on 76 minutes to secure a 1 -- 1 draw. On 11 July, in Argentina 's third group stage match against Costa Rica, Agüero scored a goal in each half as Argentina won 3 -- 0 and finished in second position in their group. Agüero was named in Argentina 's 23 - man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. On 15 June, he started alongside Lionel Messi as a forward in Argentina 's 2 -- 1 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Estádio do Maracanã. Agüero was named in the Argentine squad for the 2015 Copa América, and in a warm - up game on 7 June against Bolivia in San Juan, he scored his first international hat - trick in a 5 -- 0 victory. On 13 June, he scored Argentina 's opening goal of the tournament in a 2 -- 2 group stage draw with Paraguay. Three days later at the same ground, he headed a cross from Manchester City teammate Pablo Zabaleta for a 1 -- 0 win against holders Uruguay. At the semi-final stage, Agüero headed in Ángel Di María 's cross as Argentina defeated Paraguay 6 -- 1 to reach the 2015 Copa América Final. Agüero started the final against Chile, but was replaced in the 74th minute for Gonzalo Higuaín in an eventual penalty shootout loss. Agüero was included in Gerardo Martino 's 23 - man squad for the Copa América Centenario and scored his first goal of the tournament in Argentina 's second group match, a 5 -- 0 win over Panama on 10 June 2016, which allowed them to advance to the quarter - finals of the competition. Agüero considered retiring from international football shortly after losing against Chile in a penalty shootout in the final of the tournament for a second consecutive time. Style of play Sergio is a photocopy of Romário, they are the same player `` '' -- Roberto Mancini. Often considered to be one of the best strikers in the world, Agüero is regarded as an all - out centre forward, but can also play as a second striker off another striker, which he often did at Atlético Madrid with Diego Forlán, due to his passing ability, tactical intelligence, and vision, which made him a capable assist - man. Agüero has a diminutive figure with a stocky build, which has led to comparisons with former Manchester City teammate Carlos Tevez and past forwards such as Romário, Del Piero, and Diego Maradona. When both were on the same team, some pundits called Agüero Tevez 's heir apparent at City and others said that he was superior to his compatriot. His ex-manager at Manchester City, Roberto Mancini, has compared Agüero to former Brazilian striker, Romário, due to his pace, goalscoring ability, positioning in the area, and technique. Although naturally right footed, Agüero is also capable of striking well with his left foot, and can finish well both inside and outside the area with his powerful and accurate shot. A prolific goalscorer, Agüero 's playing style is characterised by agility, acceleration and strength, being described as `` sharp and clever '' by former Argentine player Osvaldo Ardiles ; a view which is shared by his international captain Lionel Messi, who believes Agüero possesses `` immense power, strength and an incredible work ethic. '' Combined with his close control, quick feet, dribbling skills, and strength to keep the ball, he has been described as `` a menace in the box ''. Despite his ability, Agüero 's playing time has often been limited by injuries throughout his career. Personal life Publicity photo for Puma AG, September 2011 Agüero was married to Gianinna Maradona, the youngest daughter of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona. On 19 February 2009, Gianinna gave birth to their son, Benjamín, in Madrid. Diego Maradona was there for the birth of his first grandson, while Agüero, then 20, missed Atlético 's training session earlier in the day. Atlético offered their congratulations in a statement on their official website. Agüero and Gianinna separated in 2012 after four years together. Agüero 's nickname `` Kun '', which features on his shirt, dates back to his childhood. It was first given to him by his grandparents, due to a resemblance to the character `` Kum - Kum '' from Agüero 's favourite television programme as a child. He stated, `` I have grown to appreciate it because it 's unique. It 's not every day an athlete is nicknamed after a cartoon character ! '' Agüero has a tattoo on the inside of his right arm inscribed in Tengwar -- a form of writing invented by J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings -- that transliterates roughly to Kun Agüero in the Latin script. He also has a tattoo on his left arm of his son 's name and date of birth. Agüero holds Spanish nationality, after being granted citizenship in 2010 whilst playing for Atlético Madrid. Agüero shares a close friendship with Lionel Messi, his regular roommate during outings for the national team since 2005. He described Messi as being `` like a brother '' in his 2014 autobiography, Born to Rise, which contains a foreword written by Messi.
