Gene blending

Meet Sergio "Kun" Agüero, one of the world's brightest young football stars, who plies his trade at Atletico de Madrid and for his home nation of Argentina. He's 20 years old and has a bit of the young Romario about him. Agüero is one of the most exciting players in La Liga today, but that's not the reason for this blog. Sergio Agüero's father-in-law is this man:

The greatest footballer of all time (see an earlier post for his masterpiece). And the big news of the day is that Giannina Maradona (Diego's daughter and Agüero's girlfriend) will give birth to a baby BOY in February. Yes, a BOY! Son of Kun Agüero, grandson of Diego Maradona. A little fella who is genetically destined for footballing greatness. Enrique Cerezo, president of Atletico de Madrid, has already said he will sign the boy the day he is born.
I personally can't wait to see this boy, who will be named Leonel (almost like another Argentine footballing prodigy, Lionel Messi), in action on the football pitch. He will be too young to make it to World Cup 2026, but World Cup 2030 in Australia will be his stage, 44 years after Mexico 86.
For the sake of completeness, just a quick picture of the gene blender, Giannina Maradona.
