Sergio Aguero aims hilarious digs at Cristiano Ronaldo in IShowSpeed encounter

Sergio Aguero isnt just Lionel Messis former Argentina teammate hes also one of his closest friends in football.

Their bond is so strong that Messi is even the godfather of Agueros son, Benjamin.

So when popular YouTuber IShowSpeed recently met Aguero backstage at the Club World Cup and brought up Cristiano Ronaldo Messis long-time rival it was only natural that Aguero jumped to his friends defence, tossing in a few cheeky jabs at the Portuguese star along the way.

Aguero and Speed were both at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, to watch Messis Inter Miami face Egyptian side Al Ahly in the Club World Cup opener.

Before the match, Speed livestreaming from what appeared to be a private box approached Aguero and asked if he could help him link up with Messi.

Aguero, knowing Speeds well-documented admiration for Ronaldo, laughed and replied: Hes OK, hes a good player. But I prefer Messi.

But Aguero wasnt 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 Ronaldos Al Nassr didnt 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, Hes 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 doesnt miss.
