When Sergio Aguero scored in the 69th minute on Wednesday night to put Manchester City 3-2 up against Napoli, he carved out a slice of history for himself.
The strike was Aguero’s 178th goal in City colours, breaking the club’s all-time goalscoring record previously held by Eric Brooks.
While he no doubt would have preferred to do it on home turf, the venue for Aguero’s record-breaking goal was nonetheless fitting. The Stadio San Paolo was home to compatriot and Argentina legend Diego Maradona – who also happens to be Aguero’s former father-in-law, and grandfather to Aguero’s son – when he led Napoli to Serie A glory in the 1980s.
