Aguero, 35, was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia after he was forced off just 41 minutes into his first start for the LaLiga giants.

He had joined the Spanish giants in the summer of 2021 on a free transfer from Manchester City.

However, on his first start for the club against Deportivo Alaves, he had to have treatment on the pitch as he felt like he was “going to faint”.

He told Clank Media: “I felt like I was drowning, I didn’t feel pain.

“I had a lot of pressure in my head. I figured it was because I was physically ill and I thought, ‘S**t, I’m so bad.’

“I jumped for a header. They went to counter and I started to get dizzy.

“I felt like I was going to faint and I wanted to calm down. I wanted to say something and the words didn’t come out.

“I grabbed the hand of the Alaves captain as if to say, ‘Stop the game.’

“He started screaming and they stopped the game.

“When I calmed down, I felt like my heart started beating faster.

“That’s where the arrhythmia attack caught me.

“A week before, it had happened to me in training but it had only been for 20 seconds.”

Aguero officially retired from football at the Nou Camp in December 2021.

He announced his decision in a press conference attended by his former manager Pep Guardiola.
