Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo Personal life
Agüero was born in Quilmes, Buenos Aires, on 2 June 1988 into a large family with seven children. Agüero started playing football at a young age and he often played on a pitch in his local neighbourhood Villa Itali. On 19 February 2009, it was announced that Agüero's fiancée, Giannina Maradona, the younger daughter of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona, had given birth to a son named Benjamin in Madrid. Maradona was in the Spanish capital for the birth of his first grandson, while Agüero, 20, missed Atlético's training session earlier in the day. Atlético offered their congratulations in a statement on their official website.
Agüero has a tattoo on the inside of his right arm, inscribed in Tengwar (a form of writing invented by J. R. R. Tolkien and used by the Elves in his works). It translates roughly to "Kun Aguero" in the Latin alphabet.
International career
Agüero made his senior debut for Argentina in a friendly with Brazil played at Emirates Stadium, England, on 3 September 2006. As a teenager, he represented Argentina at three FIFA World Youth Championships. Together with future 2008 Olympics squad teammates Fernando Gago of Real Madrid and Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona, they won the 2005 edition in the Netherlands.
At the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, he scored twice and helped set up three goals in a 6-0 win over Panama in the second game of the group stage of the tournament. Agüero then scored the only goal in Argentina's third match against North Korea from a free kick. Having qualified to the round of 16, he scored two of the three goals against Poland that would eventually give them the win (3-1) to advance. Argentina defeated Mexico in the quarter-finals and Chile in the semi-finals, and faced the Czech Republic in the finals. Agüero captained and scored the equaliser in the 62nd minute, leading to a 2-1 victory. In addition, Agüero won the Golden Boot for the tournament, scoring six goals, and the Golden Ball as the best player of the tournament.
As a member of the Argentine squad for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Agüero scored two goals in the space of five minutes in the semi-final 3-0 win over Brazil on 19 August 2008. He also played 78 minutes of the final where Argentina beat Nigeria
