Sergio Aguero of Barcelona was on a Twitch live with Ibai Llanos, and when questioned why he passed down the chance to take over his national teammate's iconic number, Aguero answered it wasn't because he didn't want to. The actual cause for his choice was subsequently disclosed.
“Refusing to wear the number 10 shirt at Barcelona? It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, but it was out of respect for Messi.”
Aguero's name was one of the first to come up when Lionel Messi's departure was revealed, and the world was speculating on who would be Barcelona's next number ten.
Not only did his expertise and personal relationship play a role, but so did the fact that he had been Manchester City's number 10 for almost six years. He shattered record after record in the Premier League during that period, cementing his position as an all-time great.
Nonetheless, his choice to not take his gear in honor of a personal friend left the Catalans with little options. In the end, it was young Ansu Fati who stepped up to the plate, and things couldn't have gone any better.
