“Thanks for everything,” Di Maria added, addressing the fans, teammates, and everyone who supported him throughout his career.
As he embarks on his final club season, Di Maria’s legacy with the national team is cemented. He leaves behind a rich history of memorable moments, from his pivotal goals to his unwavering passion and dedication on the field.
