REVEALED: Aguero complained Man City teammates 'don't pass me the ball' during Gladbach win

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was left angry during their Champions League defeat of Borussia Monchengladbach.

ESPN reports Aguero left the pitch unhappy with the lack of times he was passed to by his team-mates during the final stages of their win against Gladbach in the Champions League.

The Argentine club legend replaced Bernardo Silva in the 75th minute, with Pep Guardiola's side coasting through to the quarter-finals with a 4-0 lead on aggregate.

But Aguero did not register a shot on goal in 15 minutes on the pitch and ESPN report that the 32-year-old expressed his dissatisfaction to a coach following the full-time whistle, saying: "No me pasan la pelota" which translates to "They don't pass me the ball".

The report details that Riyad Mahrez in particular opted to shoot when presented with chances in and around the box in the closing stages.
