John Terry jokes ‘I did it first’ as Sergio Aguero coping ex-Chelsea captain with full kit World Cup celebrations
JOHN TERRY joked “I did it first” as Sergio Aguero wore full kit to celebrate Argentina winning the World Cup.
Aguero was forced to retire from football last December but the former La Albiceleste star joined the rest of the team to celebrate their thrilling shootout victory over France in Qatar.
The amazing scenes came following arguably the best World Cup final of all time.
Lionel Messi started it off by putting Argentina ahead from the penalty spot before Angel Di Maria’s strike put them on the cusp of glory.
But France battled back from nowhere and were suddenly level within the space of 60 seconds thanks to the devastating Kylian Mbappe.
As a result, the game went to extra-time.
The night looked like belonging to Messi when he scored his second and Argentina’s third early in the second period of extra-time.
But there was further drama to follow when Mbappe struck home his second spot-kick to complete his hat-trick and send the game to penalties.
Both Messi and Mbappe were successful from 12-yards.
Although Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni failed to score and Argentina won 4-2 on penalties.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
Cue wild celebrations from the entire Argentina squad, who ended 36 years of pain on the World Cup stage.
Joining them on the pitch was Aguero, who won more than 100 caps for his country and played at three World Cups.
But the ex-Manchester City striker was forced to hang up his boots 12 months due to his health.
However, Aguero, who recently flew out to Qatar to cheer on his former team and has been rooming with good friend Messi, was on the pitch celebrating with his old pals.
And Aguero repeated what Terry did when Chelsea won the Champions League by putting on his full kit before joining in.
Even the former Blues captain recognised the moment.
Speaking on BeIN Sports Terry said: “Aguero has gone for the full John Terry there hasn’t he?! I did it first.”
He later added on Twitter: “If your going to do it, at least go for it and put the shin pads and boots on.”
