Watch: Aguero misses 2 penalties within 15 minutes
Reuters
Sergio Aguero may have knocked himself down Manchester City's penalty pecking order after missing a pair of penalty shots within minutes in a Champions League first-round playoff match Tuesday against Steaua Bucuresti.
The Argentine stepped up to take his first penalty in the 8th minute but saw his shot saved by the Bucuresti goalkeeper. Nolito sniffed out the rebound and attempted to clean up the effort but saw his shot smack against the crossbar and away to safety instead.
Aguero's second miss came after David Silva scored a go-ahead goal in the 13th minute, when City earned another penalty seven minutes later. Aguero stepped up to take the shot and completely skied the effort:
