Argentinian friends Messi and Aguero have reunited, but this time it’s not within the realm of sports but in the world of eSports.
Established by Aguero in 2020, KRU engages in competitive eSports games, including Rocket League, FIFA, League of Legends, and Valorant.
Over time, the company has pioneered its path to becoming a leader in this field.
In a brief video announcement on Tuesday, the Manchester City icon confirmed that Messi has joined the organization as its new collaborator.
The video concludes with the Inter Miami legend expressing, “Okay, let’s play.”
In response to the arrival of the greatest of all time (GOAT), Aguero shared heartfelt words about his friend:
“I am happy to share a club with Leo, of course, now in a new stage and with other challenges.
“It is an honour that he is part of KRU. He is the best footballer in history and also a great friend.”
Both Lionel Messi and Aguero spent nearly 15 years as teammates on the national squad. During this time, they played pivotal roles in Argentina’s victory in the Copa America in 2021 and their journey to the World Cup final in 2014.
Unfortunately, Aguero had to retire a year before Argentina’s World Cup triumph in 2022 due to his heart condition.
Meanwhile, shortly after Messi’s recent foray into eSports was revealed, De Gea approached Ronaldo, Messi’s long-standing rival, to consider investing in his Rebels Gaming venture.
