“ I arrived at Atlético, we were going to play Real Madrid and Aguero told me: “Filipe, if you get close to him, you can take him out of the match. Go see him and talk about his wife.”
“I came in and said, ‘your wife,’ I cursed him, I said his wife’s name… He looked at me, he was dejected, I beat him the whole match in duels. And he really wasn’t good at the game.”
“I came home and regretted it so much… Di Maria, I’m sorry. “, he regretted.
