Sergio Agüero has brushed off concerns over his knee injury after helping Manchester City to Carabao Cup glory. The Argentine striker scored the decisive penalty in the shootout as City defeated Aston Villa 5-4 in the final on Sunday.
Agüero had been a doubt for the match after missing the previous two games with a knee problem. However, he was passed fit to start and played the full 90 minutes, contributing to City's 1-1 draw with Villa.
Despite his impressive performance, Agüero's knee issue has raised concerns about his long-term fitness. However, the 32-year-old has downplayed the worry, insisting that he is feeling fine and is not concerned about the injury.
"I'm okay, I'm fine," Agüero said in a post-match interview. "I've been working hard to get back fit and I'm happy to have played the full 90 minutes. I'm not worried about my knee, I'm just happy to have helped the team win."
Agüero's goal in the shootout was the decisive moment in the match, as City won their third Carabao Cup title in four years. The striker has now won 17 major honors with City, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the club's history.
Despite his impressive record, Agüero has faced criticism in recent months for his form and fitness. However, his performance in the Carabao Cup final will have done much to silence his critics and prove that he is still a key player for City.
City's manager, Pep Guardiola, was full of praise for Agüero after the match, saying: "Sergio is an incredible player, an incredible person. He's been working hard to get back fit and he's shown his quality again today."
Agüero's display will have given City fans hope that he can continue to play a key role for the club in the coming months. Despite his knee issue, the striker looks set to remain a vital part of City's attack, and his goal in the shootout will be remembered as a crucial moment in the club's Carabao Cup triumph.
