Sergio Aguero’s first appearance at a World Cup since retiring got off to a hilarious start as he found himself on a plane with Brazilian fans.
They weren’t just any type of Brazil supporters, as seen in footage posted by the former Argentina and Manchester City star on his social media as he traveled alongside them in Qatar.
Aguero clearly found it hilarious that it was just his luck to be stuck with some of Brazil’s hardcore fans
Who danced and sang while one of their fans beat the drum
Thankfully, Aguero saw the fun side, scratching his head and smiling as he documented his fellow travelers getting into the World Cup spirit.
Aguero appears to have booked himself first class for his trip to support Argentina as a fan for the first time since retiring from football.
But any hopes of a relaxing trip were dashed fairly quickly as large numbers of boisterous Brazil fans all wearing the country’s signature yellow and green appeared before takeoff.
And it wasn’t just their hand luggage they had on board with them either…
As Aguero begins to record, you can already hear a loud drum in the background as well as the thunderous and passionate voices of the supporters of the five-time World Cup winners.
He then slowly raises the camera to show the congregation of supporters – who probably hadn’t noticed the former Man City star – gathering in the aisle near his seat.
Dancing to the beat of the drum, the Brazilian fans waved their hands in the air and sang.

Aguero played alongside Messi for his country, now he will support him in Qatar
Aguero then brings the camera back to his face, as he scratches his head with a smirk on his face, seeing the funny side of the whole ordeal.
“Whole trip like this,” Aguero wrote with a laughing face emoji alongside the video on his Instagram Story.
The Argentine was presumably traveling to Qatar to support his country at a World Cup, the first time since he was forced to hang up his boots in 2021 after being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.
The 34-year-old – who became a legend when he scored the goal that won Manchester City their first Premier League title in 2012 – earned 101 caps for Argentina, netting 41 goals.
The City icon played in his first World Cup in South Africa in 2010, and went on to feature in the 2014 tournament in Brazil – which saw him reach the final – as well as Russia in 2018.
Let’s hope Argentina gives him less of a headache than the drum probably did on his long flight to the Middle East!
Play the Dream Team World Cup NOW!
