Sergio Aguero isn’t just Lionel Messi’s former Argentina teammate – he’s also one of his closest friends in football.

Their bond is so strong that Messi is even the godfather of Aguero’s son, Benjamin.

When well-known YouTuber IShowSpeed recently encountered Aguero backstage at the Club World Cup, he naturally mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi’s long-time competitor. Aguero quickly defended his friend, playfully taking a few light-hearted digs at the Portuguese player along the way.

Aguero and Speed were both present at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, where Messi’s team, Inter Miami, played against the Egyptian club Al Ahly in the opening match of the Club World Cup.

Prior to the game, Speed, who was livestreaming from what seemed like a private box, approached Aguero and requested his assistance to “link up” with Messi.

Aguero, knowing Speed’s well-documented admiration for Ronaldo, laughed and replied: “He’s OK, he’s a good player. But I prefer Messi.”

But Aguero wasn’t done. When Speed responded, “I prefer Ronaldo,” Aguero fired back with a grin: “But is Ronaldo playing here, at the [Club] World Cup? Or not?” – a clear dig, as Ronaldo’s Al Nassr didn’t qualify for the tournament.

“Maybe he has to watch, no?” Aguero added with a playful smirk.

Still not finished, Aguero took one final swipe after Speed insisted, “He’s going to play in the World Cup though. And he’s going to win the World Cup.”

With a sly grin, Aguero responded, “Ah, he won the World Cup?” When Speed corrected him, saying it was actually the Nations League Ronaldo had won, Aguero simply replied: “Congratulations.”

Next time Speed shows up with questions about Messi, he might want to be better prepared – because when it comes to defending his friend, Aguero doesn’t miss.
