Aguero had been kept relatively quiet by QPR before his decisive contribution late on, with City’s all-time leading goalscorer saying in 2020 of his most memorable strike: “I didn't do anything that game. I came on and scratched my balls for the whole game! I only received a kick in the back and did nothing else... until the goal.
“I swear, guys, that I didn't want to kick the ball like I did... I didn't want to put it there. If I had it kicked like I really wanted, it would have hit the defenders in the way and it wouldn't have been a goal. But luckily I scored.”
He would go on to tell City’s official website after seeing a statue unveiled in his honour: “Following the goal, I was so happy, but I was sort of in shock. I don't remember anything immediately after, but when it sank in, I realised I'd scored the best goal of my life.
“Normally, when I was young, when I scored a goal, I always took my shirt off and waved it around my head. So, when I scored, it was just natural and I ran towards the corner before my team-mates jumped on me and they were all saying, 'I love you Sergio, I love you!'.
“I had to tell them, 'leave me alone', because I was in shock at that moment, but the celebration was still good!”
