Sergio Aguero has made headlines for all the good and bad reasons during the entire duration of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Having been forced to retire from professional football due to a medical condition, the former Manchester City striker was not a part of Argentina's squad but his presence was felt as they won the title on December 18th.

From being denied access to the team to clashing with Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst to celebrating with a drum, Aguero has made a name for himself in Qatar. But amidst all this, he has been forced to explain the meaning of an offensive slur he directed at France's midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

What did Aguero say about Camavinga?

As Marca reports, while celebrating on Instagram Live with over half a million watchers, Aguero referred to Camavinga as a man's private parts. The comment drew instant backlash, especially from Real Madrid fans.

The 34-year-old was reminded that Camavinga had already achieved more than him yet he was only 20 years. It was pointed out that Camavinga had a Champions League trophy, a trophy Aguero unsuccessfully tried to win at Manchester City.

Aguero's response

Aguero has since hit back claiming that his comment was taken out of context.

"Let's see first I have nothing with him and second it's a party joke. Also if you search on stream he always joked with his name. Don't look for problems." Aguero retorted as quoted by the Mirror.

Camavinga started the final against Argentina on the bench before coming on to replace Theo Hernandez. He put in a solid performance given the fact he is not a natural left-back with two key interceptions to stop Lionel Messi.

Aguero and the drum

Where did he even get the drum? This was the question fans asked themselves, as Sergio Aguero stormed the Lusail Stadium with a drum to celebrate Argentina's World Cup victory.

Sports Brief had earlier reported that the former Manchester City striker was part of the fanbase in Doha and could not hide his joy at the end of an entertaining match between his country and the defending champions France. had earlier reported that the former Manchester City striker was part of the fanbase in Doha and could not hide his joy at the end of an entertaining match between his country and the defending champions France.

Aguero has more or less been part of Argentina's entourage in Qatar, as they recovered from an opening-day shock loss to Saudi Arabia to become world champions.
