The pair are two of the most popular players at the club, which was reflected in the warm welcome they had when arriving at the stadium shop on a cold and wet Manchester afternoon.
We had a fantastic response to the invitations posted on the club’s official social media channels, with the earliest arrivals starting the queue at 10.30am!
Kun Aguero has made an immediate impact after signing from Atletico Madrid last summer, notching 28 goals in all competitions including 21 in the Premier League. This form has helped see him nominated for both the PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards.
Zabaleta is closing in on his 150th appearance for City since signing from Espanyol in August 2008. His versatility has proved to be a bonus for every manager he has played under, and his willingness to throw himself into whatever position he plays in has made him a firm favourite with the fans.
Both players delighted everyone they met, with Kun’s improving English getting a nudge in the right direction from Pablo. Check Inside City on CityTV this weekend for a sneak peek.
