Sergio Aguero reveals the evening he turned off Bayern Munich scouts to create Man City history

Sergio Aguero is undeniably one of the most important figures in the long and proud history of Manchester City football club.

At the end of his first season with the Blues, he scored the goal that secured the club's maiden Premier League title and first top-flight crown in 44 years.

@bayernargentina - a Bayern Munich fan club in Argentina - posted an image of the cover of Argentine sports newspaper Ole, with Aguero as the cover star, from April 18, 2006.

The game in question took place on April 16 - two days before the Ole scoop. In Aguero's own
