A tearful Sergio Aguero has announced his retirement from football because of a heart condition, six months after joining Barcelona from Manchester City.

Barcelona and Argentina striker Sergio Aguero announced his retirement from football on Wednesday at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with a heart condition, bringing the curtain down on an 18-year career during which he scored more than 400 goals.
