Manchester City icon Sergio Aguero has named Michael Owen his favorite footballer from Liverpool.
The former City attacker has previously shared his admiration towards the Reds' legend, claiming he dreamed of playing in the Premier League after watching Owen as a kid.
"When I was a kid, I looked up to Michael Owen. I've always said it. Even in my book," he said during an Instagram interview with Henry and
PUMA back in 2020, via Daily Mail.
"I like him because he's small. He had the number 10 just like in my club and he played as a forward.
"So I told myself if a small player like him is doing well in the Premier league then I could make it too. Imagine that I was only a kid. I was 9-10 years old.
"It was in 1997/98/99. He scored this amazing goal with England. I was a kid and when I saw that goal I couldn't believe my eyes.
"I was watching the World Cup in my neighbourhood and I was telling everyone that I loved Owen."
On Tuesday's QA session on Twitter, Aguero was asked about his favorite Reds man, and his response was clear:
"Michael Owen."
