Argentine journalist Pablo Duggan has called Sergio Aguero a 'son of a b****' for his support of dollarizing their nation's economy, and urged the former striker to be 'responsible' for his words.
The Man City legend, who was forced into retirement with a heart condition in 2021 after racking up over 400 career goals, said on a recent Twitch stream that Argentina was 'screwed' and 'needed dollars'.
He also argued that no one outside the country could understand the value of the local Peso currency.
Argentinian outlet Ole claimed the 34-year-old's analysis 'lacked solid macro and microeconomic arguments', although Duggan has been stronger in his criticism.
'[Aguero] is speaking from his place as a billionaire in dollars, it is not that he has the money here in pesos, he never received a salary in pesos,' he said on Radio 10.
'For him, of course, dollarization is the best thing that can happen, and he does not give a damn about the peso.
He went on to call Aguero was a 'son of a b****' who needed 'a hit on the head' to bring him to his senses, before adding that the Argentine icon should be careful with his words given his standing in the country.
Duggan continued: 'He doesn't realize how pervasive his words are, giving that speech to the poor people of Argentina using the fame that Aguero has is a bad type. What point of comparison can he have with one who cleans windows?
'Who is Aguero talking to? Well, I tell you, all of Argentina is listening to you. You have to be a little responsible for the nonsense you say. Today Aguero is a dangerous character.'
Aside from his non-footballing takes, the Man City legend will be thrilled with his former side's progress this season.
They advanced to the Champions League semi finals by knocking out Bayern Munich on Wednesday night, putting them three games away from the one trophy Aguero never one at the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola's men now trail Arsenal by just four points at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand, and still have to face the Gunners in what is starting to look like a title deciding clash.
City will next be in action in their hunt for another trophy when they face Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi finals on Saturday.

He is a citizen of that country...and in a democratic country everyone is free to stay something as long as its not dangerous.....saying that the country needed dollars isn't all dangerous you can say what you want but not belittling someone because they didn't study economics....dollar is still the currency being used by many countries on international level, we ain't yet using yuan or Russian Rubble or any other currency. No currency has dethroned US Dollar yet and as such you need dollars in Argentina yes to stabilise your exchange rates......Nothing like insulting each other let's argue on important matters.
