Angel Di Maria announced his retirement. This is definitely the end of an era. Di Maria Confirmed that after the 2024 Copa America, he will be retiring from football.
In an interview given to Todo Pasa, Di Maria said, “It’s the Copa America and it’s over. It’s the last thing for me with the national team.”
Di Maria also said, ‘With Leo, I accomplished everything. The only thing I was missing was playing in a club with him, and the day they did their farewell to me at PSG, I hugged him and told him: ‘the only thing I’m grateful for is to have been able to play with you in a club, to be able to see you every day… Being there for a whole year, seeing him for a whole year, the training, seeing the things he does, for me, that was the best, and I was able to experience it.”
The Friendship & Farewell
The statement clearly indicated the bond between the two players. Both the players started out nearly the same time and have been with each other through thick and thin. Most of the international accolades Messi and Di Maria possess are all results of playing side by side.
About the 2022 World Cup Final, Di Maria said, “I felt that I had to miss those matches for that final, the final that I had not been given in 2014. I had this same feeling, that everything was unlocked and that another goal was coming I told him again (Scaloni).”
The winner of several international accolades and one of the brightest stars of the Argentine football team, Di Maria is finally taking his long-due retirement from football, and he seems to be content about it.
