What is the King League?

As reported by the BBC, the Kings League is a new seven-a-side tournament founded by Pique and Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos.

The league features 12 teams competing every Sunday. Each team has a squad made up of 10 players, which was previously selected in a draft, and are then allowed to add two others.

The two added players can be current or former professional players. The 11th squad member has to be a part of the team for the whole season, while the 12th member can be someone different each week.

A fun-filled atmosphere

The league has drawn viewers for it's fun but competitive nature. The first week saw a masked figure represent the xBuyer Team. The masked man, who called himself Enigma, was billed as a current player who wasn't allowed to play in the tournament by his professional team, so he featured using a disguise.

Aguero, who is the president of Kunisport, also came out in a disguise before his debut. The former Manchester City striker came out in a clown outfit, calling himself The Joker. He then took off the mask to announce that he would be representing his side during match week two.

Aguero also scored Kunisport's second goal and celebrate with a trademark Messi pose.

Aguero to return to football

Sergio Aguero left Manchester City after the club lost the 2021 UEFA Champions League to Chelsea.

He then joined La Liga giants Barcelona with the hope of playing alongside Lionel Messi, who left the club before they could share the field, Sports Brief reported.

Aguero's illustrious career ended a few months into his second stint in La Liga, due to heart problems which emanated from breathlessness suffered during a game against Alaves.
