Aguero celebrates Man City win by heading backstage at Drake gig for a selfie

The striker was handed a VIP invite from the Canadian, who was performing at the Manchester Arena on Sunday.

Aguero, 30, could afford to relax after City brushed aside Watford with a 3-1 win on Saturday to move within eight matches of the title.

He took to Instagram to show off his evening that included watching Drake perform before being invited to see him in person.

The pair shared a selfie and and a joke while being locked in conversation.

Pep Guardiola would have been hoping it wasn't a late one for his main striker with a busy week of matches ahead.

They take on Schalke tomorrow in the Champions League before a trip to Swansea for the FA Cup quarter-final clash at the weekend.

City remain heavy favourites to progress into the last eight of Europe's most prestigious competition after their 3-2 win in the first-leg.

They will be without Nicolas Otamendi through suspension after he was sent off in the reverse fixture.

John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho are all major doubts with injury.
