Manchester City icon Sergio Agüero has sent shockwaves through the football world by unveiling his ultimate Premier League dream team – and some legendary names have been left out.
The Argentine striker, who scored 184 goals in 275 Premier League appearances, revealed his star-studded lineup in a recent interview. While some choices were expected, others raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
Agüero's Premier League Dream Team
In goal, Agüero surprisingly opted for Chelsea legend Petr Čech over Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar. The defensive line features:
- Gary Neville at right-back
- John Terry and Vincent Kompany as centre-backs
- Ashley Cole completing the back four
Midfield Maestros
The midfield trio consists of:
- Paul Scholes
- Patrick Vieira
- Frank Lampard
Perhaps most controversially, Agüero left out Steven Gerrard, despite the Liverpool captain's legendary status in the competition.
Attacking Firepower
Up front, Agüero selected:
- Thierry Henry
- Alan Shearer
Notably absent is Wayne Rooney, the Premier League's second-highest goalscorer of all time.
Shock Omissions Spark Debate
The exclusion of certain players has already sparked heated debates among football fans. Many expected to see Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup, given his incredible Premier League performances before moving to Real Madrid.
Agüero defended his choices, stating: "These are the players who impressed me most during my time in England. It's about personal preference as much as statistics."
The former City star also admitted it was difficult leaving out some of his former teammates, including David Silva and Yaya Touré.
With such a star-studded lineup, Agüero's dream team would undoubtedly be a formidable force in any era of Premier League football.
