The surreal picture was taken during a trip to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium as part of Xi Jinping's state visit to the UK.
Flanked by two of the world's most important political figures, Aguero documented the memorable occasion with a cheeky grin.
But it appears Mr Cameron may have not been welcome in the star striker's snap.

With Mr Cameron sneakily craning into the frame, many Twitter users accused the politician of selfie sacrilege - photobombing.

Others picked up on Xi Jinping's aloof pose and pointed out that the Chinese leader is in fact an ardent Manchester United fan.
The visit marked the last day of the Chinese President's tour of the UK
As part of his visit Xi Jinping witnessed former City player and Chinese intnerational Sun Jihai being inducted into the hall of fame at the National Football Museum.
