Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero suffered a heart arrhythmia during a live streaming session with Spanish internet celebrity Ibai Llanos.
The Argentine star who was forced into retirement in December 2021 at the age of 33 due to a heart condition, suddenly stopped talking and brought his hand to his chest. Ibai was filmed asking the Argentinian, “What’s the matter?”, as Aguero fell into silence and hung his head. 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.

It was decided that Aguero must retire to protect his health and minimise any further risk of similar events happening, and it was announced publicly that he would be stepping away from professional football in January 2022. He had a pacemaker fitted to ensure he could monitor such incidents in the future.
