Benjamin has soccer in his veins, since in addition to being the son of Kun and the grandson of Diego, he is the godson of Lionel Messi.
Argentina legend Diego Maradona’s grandson and former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero’s son Benjamin Aguero Maradona made his football debut with Argentine club Tigre’s ninth division. The 14-year-old played his debut match against Independiente.
He wore the number 9 shirt in the 2-0 defeat against Rojo at the Villa Dominico stadium, the scene where his father took his first steps as a player.
Benjamin has soccer in his veins, since in addition to being the son of Kun and the grandson of Diego, he is the godson of Lionel Messi.
Benjamin’s mother Gianinna Maradona shared an Instagram story of Benja in action and accompanied him with a tender: “I love you”.
Aguero senior was forced to retire earlier last year due to a heart condition, however, the family name does not look to be done in football quite yet.
The ex-Manchester City goalscorer married Maradona’s youngest daughter Giannina and they had Benhamin.
Aguero and Giannina are now divorced – splitting in 2012 after four years of marriage.
Messi and Aguero have always had a close relationship from their days in the national team together – he once described the Paris Saint-Germain star as “like a brother”.
He even joined Barcelona in the hope to play with him at club level but Messi ended up moving to the Parisians.
Since Aguero’s retirement Messi has decided to room alone on international duty as he doesn’t want to share his space with anyone else.
