Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has revealed he placed a $10,000 bet on the Champions League final.
Manchester City are heavy favourites to beat Inter Milan in the final in Istanbul and complete a historic treble this season.
Aguero hasn’t just placed a bet on Manchester City to win Inter Milan, the former Manchester City striker has placed a bet of $10,000 on Manchester City to beat Inter Milan by two or three goals.
Having placed $10,000 on the bet, the Argentine would make $9,700 profit.
Aguero will be watching the Champions League final at the Ataturk Stadium, insisting there was no way he’d miss the final.
“I’ll be in Istanbul and I wouldn’t miss this game for anything in the world,” said Aguero.
“This time, I’ll be one more among a sea of City fans – cheering for the team along with the rest of the crowd. I can’t wait.”
When asked if he was feeling nervous, Aguero replied: “A tiny bit, sure, but I’m also very confident in the team. They’ve played a magnificent season, and this is the last step for a crowning finish.
“When I see the team, I see a consolidated game plan and very solid performance across all levels.
“This is football, and anything can happen – that being said, I think we’ve gotten here with the right momentum to get the result we’ve been looking for.”
“It’ll be tough, I know that much,” Aguero added.
“Reaching the Champions League final is no easy feat. Inter have earned their place for a reason.
“They have a consistently solid defence, they fight tooth-and-nail in the midfield, and their attack is versatile – with the possibilities afforded by Lautaro, Edin and Romelu Lukaku.
“It’s important to leave favouritism aside when we get to this stage… but City have arrived with great confidence.
“The lads know what they need to do on the field and that gets my hopes up. The team has fought long and hard to achieve this title for a long time. I hope this is it and that’s why I wouldn’t miss this game for the world.”
