Benfica's wing defender Angel Di Maria played his last game. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The Lisbon team faced Chelsea in the Round of 16 of the World Club Championship group stage. The 37-year-old experienced player successfully converted a penalty at the end of the game, saving his team from defeat during regular time.
However, in extra time, the "Blues" took the lead. The "Eagles" were left short-handed and soon conceded three goals, losing 1:4. This was the last game for Angel Di Maria before returning to his homeland.
He is moving to "Rosario Central," where he started his professional career nearly twenty years ago. Angel Di Maria's first European club was indeed Benfica, where he played from 2007 to 2010. He then played for four years at Real Madrid, followed by a less successful season at Manchester United, and spent seven years at Paris Saint-Germain.
He also played for a year at Juventus and finally returned to Benfica for another two years. Throughout his rich career, Angel Di Maria gained a lot of experience and left a significant mark in the world of football.
Now he will return to his homeland and continue his work at the club where he started his career.
