He’s back: this was the official debut of ‘Kun’ Agüero with a Barcelona jersey | VIDEO

He had to wait 139 days from the announcement of his signing, but finally he did. Sergio Agüero reappeared again in an official match and debuted with Barcelona this Sunday against Valencia, in the ninth day of LaLiga.

The ‘Kun’ received the first applause from the Camp Nou when he went out to warm up in the 60th minute, but did not enter the field replacing Sergiño Dest until Philippe Coutinho sentenced the match with 3-1.

The Argentine striker, who came to Barça free after ending his contract with Manchester City, was presented at the Camp Nou on May 31 and then his arrival was interpreted as a nod from President Joan Laporta to Leo Messi, with whom he shares a great friendship.

Agüero suffered a tendon injury to the inner calf of his right leg in early August, days after Messi’s farewell to the Barça club was made official, and he was no longer able to participate in the presentation of the squad at the Joan Gamper Trophy.

With the return of the Argentine to the pitch, Ronald Koeman recovers another cash in the attacking zone after the return of Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho. The next to do so should be Ousmane Dembélé, who is facing the final stretch of recovering from his injury.

At 33, Agüero intends to increase the spectacular scoring figures he accumulates in the Spanish League from his time at Atlético de Madrid. In 175 games, he scored 74 goals and gave 29 assists.
