SERGIO AGUERO joined in the jubilant celebrations as Argentina lifted the World Cup, but fans spotted something rather peculiar.
The former Manchester City ace posted a photo in the dressing room with the World Cup trophy in hand while smoking a cigar.
However, fans noticed he had turned around his ID badge and they were left convinced he did so in order to claim it as a World Cup medal.
One user said: “Can’t stop laughing at how he turned his ID badge around so it looks like a medal 😭”
A second user said: “Aguero turned his ID badge around so it looks like a medal. He thinks we can’t see him 😭.”
A third said: “Aguero turnt over his id badge so it looks like a medal☠️”

“Shameless 😭😭,” said another.
Aguero was not in the Argentina squad after retiring from football in late 2021.
It came after he was diagnosed with heart condition cardiac arrhythmia.
Despite this, it did not stop the 34-year-old from donning a full Argentina kit as he joined the on-pitch celebrations.

This led to John Terry, who infamously did the same after Chelsea won the Champions League without him on the pitch in 2012, calling out the striker.
He joked: “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.”
Aguero bizarrely aimed a dig at 20-year-old France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga as well.
