Although not one of the most attractive groups in the 2022/23 Champions League, Group H will give us an interesting duel between Argentinians after the matches between PSG, Juventus, and Benfica. And the one who was attentive to the draw was Kun Agüero, who didn't hesitate to comment on the clash that his friends Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María, and Nicolás Otamendi will have.
As he began to read the matches and groups of the continental tournament, the former Argentine player commented on the possible "confrontation" that could arise between "Leo" and "Ota," teammates in the Argentine National Team but who will be rivals in the PSG vs. Benfica match, as well as the one with Di María in the Juventus vs. Benfica match.
“PSG, Juventus, and Benfica. Otamendi will have to give a couple of kicks. Oh, he will cross paths with 'Leo'. Don't injure him, because I'll kill you, the World Cup is coming, 'Ota',” Kun said. He then added, “You'll also cross paths with 'Fideo' (Di María), damn it. Oh, Otamendi,” he joked.
At the moment, UEFA has not confirmed the dates of the matches between the clubs of the three Argentine players in question, but it is most likely that they will take place in September and the first week of October. As you may recall, this group stage will be atypical and very accelerated due to the proximity of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which starts in November.
Has Kun Agüero ever won the Champions League?
Throughout his career, especially during his time as a Manchester City player, Kun Agüero relentlessly pursued the possibility of lifting the Champions League trophy. However, it always eluded him.
The closest he came was in the 2020-21 season when he reached the final against Chelsea. Although Pep did not consider him a starter, the Argentine entered as a substitute. Unfortunately, he couldn't change the outcome, and the 'Blues' lifted the 'Orejona' thanks to Kai Havertz's solitary goal.
