Kun Aguero returned to the pitch after retiring

Aguero played 18 minutes in the Noche Amarilla friendly match between Barcelona SC and Mushuc Runa, which allowed the Ecuadorian club to introduce themselves to their fans ahead of the new season. It also served to bid farewell to Argentinian Matias 'Pony' Oyola, who played for the Guayaquil club for 13 years.

Kun, whose participation was in doubt at the start of the week due to a slight muscle injury he picked up last week while taking part in the Kings League, the 7-a-side football tournament organised by Gerard Pique, gave way to Oyola and the home side won with a goal from Uruguay's Agustin Rodriguez.

Although Ageero played very little, he won the hearts of the Barcelonistas, more for his relaxed and cheerful way of facing and living every moment, to such an extent that the Barcelona administration gave him the opportunity to be registered as an honorary member of the club.

On the eve of the match, the former Independiente de Avellaneda, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona player enjoyed a special dinner with members and fans of the Ecuadorian club, where he said he enjoys football more now than when he was playing professionally.

The former Argentina striker was so moved and identified with the Barcelona family that he promised to return to the Noche Amarilla next year. "As a spectator, entertainer or whatever, but I'm coming," said the Argentinian.

The only goal of the match between Barcelona and Mushuc Runa came from a great combination of Gabriel Cortez, Damian 'Kitu' Diaz and the Uruguayan Rodriguez, who took advantage of a rebound from goalkeeper Adonis Pavon.
