During his five year stint with Atletico Madrid, Aguero scored 101 goals in 234 games for the club and he was still only 23-years-old when he left the club.

At Atletico, he played alongside the likes of Fernando Torres, Diego Forlan and Diego Costa. He formed a formidable partnership with the Uruguayan and helped the club return to the Champions League. In 2010, they helped the club win the Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup.

In 2011, Aguero moved to Manchester City for €45 million and the club used that money to fund a move for Radamel Falcao. At City, Aguero became an instant hit and scored the goal that clinched the Citizens their first ever Premier League title.

Aguero has racked up 201 goals in 292 appearances for Manchester City and this has made him the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.
