Sergio Aguero suffers heart arrhythmia during live Twitch stream

Aguero was forced to retire from football because of the same issue

The former Manchester City forward was forced to retire from football in December, 2021 after having a heart scare for Barcelona while playing jus two months beforehand.

He was forced to come off after complaining of chest discomfort during a fixture against Alaves before being diagnosed with heart arrhythmia.

As a result, Aguero was fitted with a pacemaker and confirmed his immediate retirement from football during an emotional press conference.

Aguero then replied: "I think... I think... I just had a mini-arrhythmia."

Llanos asked if he would need to get a doctor but Aguero explained that he has "a chip and the famous chip will detect it and send a signal."

As well as former a new career out of online streaming, Aguero was also a special guest of the Argentina squad as they celebrated their first World Cup win since 1986.

He was a main part of the celebrations alongside Lionel Messi and the rest of the side on the pitch in Qatar after they beat France on penalties.
