The 33-year-old Argentina striker underwent heart tests after leaving the field, holding his chest, during Barcelona’s match against Alaves in the Spanish league on Oct. 30. His condition has since been evaluated, and a tearful Aguero said at a press conference at Camp Nou that he had decided to stop playing.
Aguero was open in his support of the COVID-19 vaccine. Six weeks before his heart problems started, the football star went online to promote the vaccine to 12-year-olds.
