Football fans have been poking fun at the new Sergio Aguero statue outside Manchester City‘s Etihad Stadium, claiming that it looks more like Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.
10 years on from his iconic last-minute goal against QPR that handed City their first Premier League title, Aguero has been honoured by the blue side of Manchester with a statue.
Aguero was present at the Etihad on Friday to be pictured alongside the figure, but a number of fans could not help but realise that it resembled Kroos more than City’s former striker.

Aguero scored 260 goals in 390 appearances for City between 2011 and 2021, establishing himself as one of the finest strikers in the Premier League era.
He certainly played his part in helping the team become the force that they are today, with Pep Guardiola’s side on the brink of winning their sixth title in the last 11 seasons.
One fan stated that Aguero deserves his legendary status at the club, but acknowledged that the statue doesn’t look like the Argentine at all.
‘No man at City deserves a statue more than Aguero but it doesn’t even look like him,’ they wrote, alongside a laughing face emoji.
