Soccer lovers were left with the thorn to see Sergio Kun Agüero and Lionel Messi, close friends outside of sports, playing together in a club.
And they were close.
In May 2021, the striker who left a notable mark during his long stay at Manchester City in England, signed a contract with Barcelona to wear the
Blaugrana
shirt and be able to throw walls together.
But finally, three months after signing, Messi emigrated to his current club Paris Saint-Germain and ended all chances of this happening.
To make matters worse, a few months later, Kun suffered his heart problem and had to abandon his professional practice.
Despite all these situations that meant that the two cracks could not afford to meet in the same club, in recent days a door has opened that gives hope to sports lovers: the
Kings League
.
The "Circus" of the Kings League, the tournament created by the retired soccer player Gerard Piqué and the Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, is a drinkable place for both players to play on the same team again.
Agüero, totally involved with the world of video games and streaming, owns the Kunisports team, one of the teams that participates in the young and attractive tournament.

In the last hours, social networks have spoken, fueling the possibility that this is a fact.
"One last dance, together"
, posted the official account of the club owned by the former striker who emerged from Independiente de Avellaneda, along with an image of both wearing the Kunisports shirt.
To clear up doubts -if there are any- that Agüero wants to take him to his team, he liked the publication to confirm, once again, his position.
In this innovative tournament, on each date that is played, each club has the possibility of bringing an invited player who stands out as Player 12. In addition, the regulations are so volatile that they change from one date to another.
Here, what prevails is the show.
Therefore, given the chance to incorporate Messi, there would be no transfer market that would prevent his arrival.
Of course, the most difficult thing would be to convince the best player in the world and the club that owns his pass.
Prior to this publication of the team,
Kun
, president of the club, had expressed his wish that Leo wear the team jacket, although reaching it has some setbacks.
"
Obviously it's not easy
, it's difficult, but it all depends on Leo's situation at the end of the season. Obviously Leo and anyone
have the doors open to play at Kunisports
," Agüero quoted.
To achieve the chimera of taking Messi to the Kings League, one would have to do a few tweaks to the regulations because the current regulations only allow one position for "player number 12" who is the guest.
"It would be very nice, but you still have to see why 12 can play, so one of the two is going to have to leave.
Obviously he's going to play and I stream...
", commented the former striker who in July In 2021, he played his last game with Messi, while the Copa América was being played in Brazil.
Do they play together again?
The Kings League could once again unite Messi and Kun on one pitch.
There is no doubt that if the impossible happened (that is, Messi was authorized by PSG to play a game of streamers), the tournament where the rules are chosen by the spectators, would make an exception so that Leo and Kun would have their "last dance" on
Kuni
Sports.
