We could only sit there and cry each night over not being able to carry out that dream return.”
Throughout his career, di Maria has amassed 30 trophies in Europe, including league titles in multiple countries and the 2013-14 Champions League title with Real Madrid. He also secured World Cup and two Copa America titles with Argentina. After rejoining Benfica in 2023, he is slated to depart following the Club World Cup campaign in the United States next month.
