Worrying moment Sergio Aguero suffers heart scare on live stream and suddenly stops talking leaving celeb pal stunned
MANCHESTER CITY legend Sergio Aguero suffered a heart scare during a live-streaming session with a celebrity pal.
The Argentine, forced to retire from professional football in December 2021 aged just 33 due to a heart condition, suddenly stopped talking and brought his hand to his chest.

Spanish internet celebrity Ibai Llanos asked Aguero: “What’s the matter?” as the ex-Etihad hero fell into silence and hung his head.
Aguero, 34, appeared to gasp momentarily for breath before replying in an obvious state of shock: “Ooohh. I think….I think that I just suffered a minor arrhythmia.”
He then seemed to be checking a monitor on his phone and then his pulse.
A stunned and concerned Ibai replied: “Right now?”
But Aguero reassured his pal: “No. I have a chip and the famous chip is going to detect the situation.
“It would send a signal because perhaps it’s just something that’s in my head.”
Aguero complained the battery on his phone was running out but added: “It was very strange.
“I definitely felt something out of the normal circuit.”
He then joked: “Imagine I end up dying.”
Ibai replied: “Shall we finish off this live anyway?”
The pair exchanged a smile before the live stream ended and a message appeared on screen confirming they waited for a message from the doctor but it did not arrive in time for them to complete the recording session.
It also said of Aguero, referencing his nickname: “Take care Kun, we love you.”
There was no immediate update on the five-time Premier League winner’s health situation today.
Aguero, who left Manchester City for Barcelona shortly before his heart issue showed up, called time on his glittering career when tests showed he had an irregular heartbeat.
He was taken to hospital clutching his chest and complaining of breathing problems and dizziness during a game against Alves at the end of October 2021.
In February 2022, he was filmed lifting up his top to show fans his microchip implant – as he joked it was inserted by his girlfriend Sophie Calzetti to track his movements.

He went on to liken himself to the American comic book superhero Iron Man.
As he exposed a small scar where the device was implanted during a cardiac catheterisation in Barcelona, he said: “Here it is, see.
“This is the place where they made a little opening and put in the microchip.
“At night time I light up in colours. I’m Iron Man.
“It’s really good. I’ve got a microchip and I’m really posh. If my heart speeds up the doctor gets an alert, really posh.”
Aguero revealed his doctor was checking his heart was okay during Argentina’s crazy World Cup quarter-final win over Holland before the South American nation went on to win the final against France.
Argentina were 2-0 up with just ten minutes of normal time to go before Wout Weghorst, now with Manchester United, drew the Dutch level with two late goals.
The South Americans ended up taking the game 4-3 on a dramatic penalty shootout.
When asked by a fan how his heart was holding up, Aguero replied: “The doctor wrote to me several times, so imagine.”
Aguero has not yet referred to the heart scare on his social media.
