The Kun Agüero is in Istanbul beating the final of the Champions League that will play this Saturday his former team Manchester City against Inter Milan. And in that previous one he crossed nothing less than with Pep Guardiola, who was his coach in the English team.

On the day before the match, Guardiola and his players approached the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, the venue of this meeting that will capture the attention of the entire football planet. And there was Aguero, broadcasting from the field for ESPN, in his new role as a TV commentator.

Before hugging Pep, the Kun gave a real show. He first chatted with Carlitos Tevez, another former Citizen. He then joked with former teammate Lautaro Martinez, who will play for Inter. And later he proposed a paddle challenge to Iván Zamorano and Pupi Zanetti, former footballers committed in their feeling with the Milan club.

But the icing on the cake was his exchange with Pep, who counted as an addition with the freshness of the Spanish coach, who is one day away from one of the most important matches of his career but allows himself a little bit of relaxation.

"Everything he says is a lie... he doesn't tell the truth or the doctor," Pep started with everything, just before giving Kun a fatherly hug.

"You take everyone to Miami," Guardiola joked later, in clear reference to the city where Kun lives, the announcement of the arrival of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami and the rumors of a possible arrival of other former Barcelona such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

"Is Leo there?" insisted Guardiola, holding Kun's hand affectionately. "I'm collecting everyone little by little," Agüero managed to say.

And then came an invitation from the coach to the now ESPN star: "I'm glad you're here... Will you stop by the hotel or not? Come and have dinner."

But there was more to come. Before saying goodbye, Guardiola referred to the former Argentine striker's tan. "You're changed color, you're brown...", Pep pointed out, putting his hand to his face.

And there came the Kun's counterattack, which was slow to arrive but struck effectively: "And but did you see? I'm in Miami, to... See you, chau pa," he dismissed him.

Guardiola was not only coach of Kun but his link was not only that of a coach with his manager. An example? In December 2021, the Spaniard traveled from England to Barcelona, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, to be present at the announcement of the retirement of Agüero, a victim of heart disease that hastened his exit from football.

From those smiles to this present of smiles, chicanes and jokes, a day before it is defined who will take the Champions League.
