Di Maria, the big announcement

Angel Di Maria’s glorious career with the Albiceleste is coming to an end…

At 35, Angel Di Maria is in great shape. This is evidenced by his very successful start to the season with Benfica. Returning to his former club, the Argentine winger has already scored 6 goals and 2 assists in just 9 appearances.

However, the former Parisian wants to retire. International for now. The native of Rosario thus announced his desire to stop with the selection at the end of the Copa America which will be played next summer.

“I came to Benfica and it gives me the chance to continue in the national team and play at a good level. I hope to participate in the Copa America and it will be the last for me,” he confided.

In 134 caps with Argentina, Angel Di Maria has 29 goals and 28 assists and won the Copa America in 2020 and the World Cup in 2022.
