Aguero upon his arrival at the Nou Camp, said: “We all know that Barcelona are the best club in the world so I think I made a great decision to be here and I hope to help the team.

“I want to send a big hug to everyone, to all the supporters I will try to give my best and hopefully the fans will enjoy my skills. They enjoyed me in other shirts but now I am here.
