Recent discovery of superconductivity in the twisted bilayer graphene has stimulated numerous theoretical proposals concerning its exact gap symmetry. Among them, $d+id$ or $p+ip$-wave were believed to be the most plausible solutions. Here considering the superconductivity emerges near a correlated insulating state and may be induced by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations, we apply the strong-coupling Eliashberg theory with both inter- and intraband quantum critical pairing interactions and discuss the possible gap symmetry in an effective low-energy four-orbital model. Our calculations reveal a nodeless $s^\pm$-wave as the most probable candidate for superconducting gap symmetry in the experimentally relevant parameter range. This solution is distinctly different from previous theoretical proposals. In particular, it contains interesting topological components in the valley space, which might be tuned by experimental manipulation of the valley degree of freedom.
