- Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero del Castillo (fan of Independiente de Avellaneda) is an Argentine footballer. Agüero earned his nickname Kun when his grandparents noted his resemblance to Japanese anime character Kum Kum. He is married and has a son with Diego Maradona's daughter Giannina Maradona. Agüero was born in Quilmes, Buenos Aires on 2 June 1988 into a large family with seven children. His mother, Adriana, was a housewife, and his father, Leonel, was a taxi driver. Kun is the second child of the seven, but unlike his siblings Yesica, Gabriela, Maira, Daiana, Mauritius and Gaston, he took the name of his mother, Agüero, and not Del Castillo, the name of his father. Agüero started playing football at a young age and he often played on a pitch in his local neighbourhood, Villa Itali. He was quoted as saying that the best place for children to learn how to play football was on the street, and that doing so helped him in his own development.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Martín
- Manchester City's all-time record goal-scorer, El Kun's professional career started in July 2003 when, aged just 15 years and 13 days, he made his debut for Independiente, becoming the youngest debutant in the Argentine Premier League - a record previously held by the man who became his future father-in-law, none other than Diego Maradona.
Aguero won the Under-20 World Cup with Argentina in 2005, before combining with Fernando Torres at Atletico Madrid the following year.
His excellent club form was rewarded with a first Argentina cap in September 2006, and a year later, Aguero was the outstanding player at the 2007 Under-20 World Cup winning both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards, 'El Kun' scored six goals in seven games to clinch successive Under-20 World titles.
Aguero continued to thrive at Atletico and was named La Liga's best foreign player in 2008 - the only time in four years that Lionel Messi was not awarded the honor - before landing an Olympic gold medal with Argentina in 2008.
Appearances at the 2010 World Cup and 2011 Copa America established Aguero as a permanent fixture in the national side, and his arrival at Etihad Stadium in July 2011 broke the Club's transfer record.
He didn't take long to announce himself at City, scoring twice on his debut against Swansea, ending his debut season with a superb tally of 30 goals.
But Aguero's place in City's history was secured when he ended the club's 44-year Premier League title wait with his goal in the 94th minute against QPR on the final day of the 2011/12 season.
He bagged 28 goals in the 2013/14 campaign as the Blues won a second Premier League title as well as the Capital One Cup.
In 2014/15, he had his best season yet in terms of goals, scoring 32 to take his overall tally past 100 in all competitions. In 2015/16 he scored 29 from 42 games - achieving the 100 Premier League goals milestone in the process - and he began the 2016/17 season in blistering form with 11 goals in his first six games and ended with 33 goals in all competitions.
He broke Eric Brook's 78-year Club record when he scored City's third in a 4-2 win at Napoli to move on to 178 goals for the Blues and thus create a new record. His 30 goals during 2017/18 won him a place in the PFA Team of the Year before injury ended his season with his tally on 199 goals for the Blues.
Sergio returned to fitness in time for the World Cup in Russia, scoring two goals.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Amazon Video X-Ray - Sergio Agüero is an Argentine professional footballer who played as a striker for the English Premier League club Manchester City F.C. and the Argentina National Football Team. He is widely considered as one of the best players of his generation and one of the best center-forwards in Premier League history.
Agüero began his career at the Argentine C.A. Independiente. On 5 July 2003, he became the youngest player to play in the Argentine Primera División on his debut at 15 years and 35 days, breaking the record previously established by Diego Maradona in 1976.

On the last day of his debut season with the club, he scored a 94th-minute winner against Queens Park Rangers F.C. that earned City its first league title in 44 years. At the end of the 2015-16 season, of players who had played at least two seasons in the Premier League, Agüero had the highest goals per minute ratio in the history of the competition since its formation in 1992, averaging a goal every 106 minutes, ahead of Thierry Henry. He also holds the joint-record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League match - five - and the fastest to do so, in 23 minutes and 34 seconds of match time. In November 2017, Agüero became Manchester City F.C.'s all-time highest goal-scorer, scoring his 178th City goal against S.S.C. Napoli. Agüero is the 4th highest goalscorer in Premier League history, and the highest non-English scorer in the history of the competition, with 184 goals in the division. He also holds the record for most hat-tricks in the Premier League, with twelve.
At the international level, Agüero represented the Argentina under-20 team at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2005 (2005) and at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2007 (2007), winning both tournaments.

- I always got on well with Roberto Mancini and never had a problem with him. Every manager has their own way of working, tactics, and style of play. As a player, you do what the manager says. There are misunderstandings, but generally, everything was fine under Mancini.
- I like it in Manchester. I thought it was going to be much colder, but it is not too bad. And my wife and son are happy here, too.
- I owe my life to my father. I remember that my first Christmas present was a ball. In the district where we lived, there weren't many kids who had one.
- I knew Manuel Pellegrini from my time in Spain. I'd only heard good things about him, that he was someone who instilled the confidence in his players to go out and play good, attacking football.
- When I moved from Independiente to Atletico Madrid, I was only 18, and I found it hard to adapt. But what surprised me most about moving to England was how fast the game was. I like it, but it is so quick.
