Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero statue after it was pointed out that it resembles the Real Madrid striker.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, a memorial to the legendary City striker was revealed, depicting his famous stoppage-time winner in 2012, which gave the team their first Premier League title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans quickly pointed out that it looked more like Real Madrid’s Kroos than Aguero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the 32-year-old German answered beautifully with a single phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He tweeted a photo of the statue with the message “Sergio is here,” along with the words “Sure?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nice gesture by Man City to honour Toni Kroos for his contribution <\/a>in knocking them out of the #UCL this season,” one fan said of the statue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The way Aguero was looking at the statue man couldn’t believe that’s him,” another added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aguero was present for the unveiling of his statue, which commemorates his career-defining event ten years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Argentine, who has 260 goals in 390 games for City, was moved by the club’s gesture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Truly, it is a very beautiful event for me,” he remarked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
