The former Argentine soccer player Sergio ‘Kun’ Aguero He played again this Saturday on a soccer field more than a year after retiring for a heart conditionand he did it with the shirt of the Barcelona Ecuadorian to participate in the yellow night of the Guayaquil club.
Agüero participated for 18 minutes in the friendly match of the Yellow Night that measured Barcelona against Mushuc Runa, and that allowed the Ecuadorian club to present itself before its public for the new season and also to fire the Argentine Matías ‘Pony’ Oyola, who played with the Guayaquil club for thirteen years.
The ‘Kun’, whose participation was in doubt at the beginning of the week due to a slight muscle injury that occurred last week while participating in the King’s League, the 7-a-side football tournament organized by Gerard Piqué, gave up his place to Oyola and the local team won with a goal from Uruguayan Agustín Rodríguez.
Although Agüero played little, he conquered the hearts of Barcelona fans, more because of his relaxed and cheerful way of facing and living each moment, to such an extent that the Barcelona administration gave him the opportunity to be registered as an honorary member of the club.
On the eve of the game, the former player of Independiente de Avellaneda, Atlético de Madrid, Manchester City and FC Barcelona enjoyed a special dinner with members and fans of the Ecuadorian club, in which he assured that now he enjoys football more than when he was acting professional.
The emotion and identification that the former Argentine attacker lived with the Barcelona family was so great that he promised to return to the ‘Yellow Night’ next year. “As a spectator, entertainer or whatever, but I’m here,” said the ‘Kun’.

Some 40,000 fans attended the Yellow Night, in which Barcelona presented its figures for the 2023 season, in which it will once again play the Copa Libertadores.
