Pathetic! Man City ace Aguero slams trolls over Lautaro claims

Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero is upset by online claims that he has mocked Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.

This week, a Racing fan taunted Aguero about the emerging of Lautaro as Argentina's big new striker.

In response, Kun joked: "He still has to score 50 goals in the national team, so we'll see."

Innocent enough, but online trolls turned Aguero's answer into a conscious attack on his Argentina teammate.

The City striker has since stated: “I have seen the video and the way it has been portrayed has ruined it. Why don't they put in even when I talk about Lautaro? Why? They can't stand when I say that if he decides to do it, he can reach 50 goals and even exceed it, since he's a good striker and I like him.

"Why don't you put these things in there? We should ask them.

"Are you looking for 'little things'? They won't find them, because I'm not doing them. They won't find anything. Lautaro knows who I am, a little while ago I was talking to him and I said clearly: 'Lauta don't believe these things'."
