Sergio Aguero is fuming at Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 'rude' attack on Argentina, following their wild celebrations after winning the 2022 World Cup.

The AC Milan forward took aim at the South American Mundial squad for what he deemed 'going over the top' with their celebrations.

The veteran Swedish striker went further to claim that Argentina's victory in Qatar would be their last owing to their offensive antics, particularly from goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez.

La Albiceleste finally ended their 36-year wait for the Mundial after beating France on post-match penalties, sending the entire South American nation into a state of frenzy.

But Aguero, who retired from football in 2021, did not take Zlatan's statement lightly.

"It seems very rude to me to say that we are not going to win anything anymore," the ex-Manchester City striker said as quoted by Roy Nemer.

The 34-year-old aimed a jab at Zlatan's home nation - Sweden - who failed to qualify for the global showpiece.

"Before talking about Argentina, worry about your country, your players, who were not even in the last World Cup. You're the least suitable person to speak."

Aguero was forced to retire from football in 2021 due to a cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis, but made a scoring return to notch a goal in Gerard Pique's seven-a-side competition, Kings League.

Zlatan criticises Argentina celebrations

Sports Brief earlier reported on Ibrahimovic calling out Emi Martinez and other members of Argentina's World Cup-winning squad.

The veteran striker slammed the reigning world champions for their conduct, after beating France on penalties to win a first Mundial since 1986.

Martinez in particular was lambasted for performing a suggestive gesture with his Golden Glove award and throwing shade at Kylian Mbappe.

Aguero made Lionel Messi angry

Sports Brief also reported on former Manchester City striker, Aguero recounting Messi's anger at him during Argentina's World Cup celebrations.

Aguero, who retired a year before his country's triumph in Qatar, was a conspicuous member of La Albiceleste's entourage despite not featuring on the pitch.

He made headlines for storming the Lusail Stadium with a drum after the final, where defending champions France were dethroned as world champions.
