Argentine legend Sergio Aguero, a Manchester City icon, opened fire on a Spain player ahead of the 2026 World Cup final between La Roja and the Albiceleste.

The Argentine national team has faced ongoing accusations of receiving favorable refereeing decisions in many matches, prompting Spain defender Aymeric Laporte to speak about this matter before the highly anticipated final between the two sides.

Aguero said in statements on the Spanish version of the platform 'Ataque Futbolero': 'What do you want to do, Laporte? I know you well because I played with you at Manchester City. This is not your personality.'

He added: 'You said you saw some things in recent matches that amazed you (the refereeing). I want to know what those things are.'

He concluded: 'Don't pretend to be brave and don't play the role of the provocateur, because you will back down when confronted and your stance will change in front of us, because I know you.'
