Sergio Aguero's stoppage-time strike against Queens Park Rangers was perhaps the greatest moments in Manchester City's club history as it lifted them to their first-ever Premier League title. The title victory was the foundation of their dominance of the English football scene for the better part of the decade, bankrolled by the City Football Group and coached by Pep Guardiola. The moment was one to savour for all of the Cityzens, who had longed for a piece of sliverware for decades.

Tony mentioned that it was his dream to watch Aguero play at the Etihad stadium with his son, and hopes to make it happen after the coronavirus pandemic. The video caught the attention of Sergio Aguero himself and the Manchester City legend took to Twitter to give a heartwarming response. The 32-year-old wrote, "What a wonderful family! I hope I have the chance to meet you and your son Aguero one day". Sergio Aguero is currently under isolation after having been in contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. The Man City legend has been bogged down by a series of injury problems over the past few seasons, and will hope to make his mark when he returns to action.
