VIDEO: Sergio Aguero picks his ultimate XI and goes very old school altogether

No sign of Cristiano Ronaldo

Darragh Murphy

Say what you will about Sergio Aguero but he takes his fantasy team selection very seriously.

The Manchester City striker didn’t feel the need to pander to his club teammates and not one of them gets the shout to start in his Ultimate XI.

The Argentine goes for a proven choice between the sticks with legendary German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn and selects a back line of former Argentina captain Roberto Ayala, Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos and Fernando Hierro who hilariously finished his career with Bolton Wanderers.

The midfield is split between icons of Real Madrid and Barcelona with the pairing of Catalan heroes Andres Iniesta and Xavi lining out alongside Madristas Roberto Carlos and Fernando Redondo.

To be fair to the little fella, Aguero doesn’t pick himself to lead the line but, rather, chooses fellow countrymen Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi who flank Brazil legend Ronaldo.

Our main cause for irritation is Aguero’s formation … 1-3-4-2-1. The goalkeeper is kind of implied Serge.
