The former magician of the Parc des Princes has spoke. His message will touch Parisian supporters in the heart.

A page turns for good. After 18 years spent at the highest level on the old continent, Ángel Di María formalized his departure. The Argentinian, who illuminated the lawns of Ligue 1, Liga or Serie A, is about to return home to Rosario Central. A decision that marks the end of an era for one of the most elegant players of its generation. Before completing the loop, “El Fideo” wanted to send a strong message, returning to its incredible European route.

Di Maria places PSG at the top of her memories

On his social networks, the 2022 world champion shared a long text to say goodbye. If he has not forgotten any of his former clubs, he had words that will resonate particularly in Paris. He thanks “Each club where (he has) passed for everything they have done for (him)“. He cites namely Paris Saint-Germain, alongside Benfica, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus, to have it “Helped to grow as a player and as a person”. A message full of class and recognition.

It is no coincidence that Paris occupies a special place in its heart. The Argentinian spent seven seasons at PSG, from 2015 to 2022. A a pound period during which he played 295 games, scored 92 goals, but above all, issued 112 assists. This total makes him, even today, the best passer in the history of the club, in front of a legend like Safet Sušić. His departure had also left an unfinished taste for many supporters, who have not forgotten his contribution.

PSG: the unexpected homage of Di Maria who goes straight to the heart of the supporters

The end of a European chapter

This tribute is not only a statement. It is the confirmation of a sincere bond woven with the club and its city, despite the end of a slightly steep adventure. By including Paris in the pantheon of its significant experiences, Di María recalls the importance of its passage in France. It only retains the positive, the
“Incredible moments” who made him
“What is today”. A mentality that contrasts with the bitterness that some players can sometimes feel when they left.

At 36, Ángel Di María will therefore take up a last challenge, sentimental that one, returning to his training club. He leaves Europe with an immense track record and the respect of all. Parisian supporters, they will keep in mind the image of a player who, even at the time of saying goodbye, has not forgotten the seven years when he vibrated the Parc des Princes. A high class gesture, like the player he has always been.
