The legendary Angel Di Maria, the game’s MVP and the goal scorer who won four titles for Argentine football has just formally declared his intention to leave the club following Copa America 2024. A quick translation of the article can be seen below. on the social media platform Instagram:

Thus, I participated in my final World Cup qualifying match. This time, there are no words to describe how I feel. I thoroughly enjoyed every second I spent with these gentlemen. colleagues, without whose pen these fables would never have been penned.

The affection I’ve received from everyone has shaped who I am now. It’s unfortunate that what transpired in the (Maracana?) stadium could have been avoided; nobody should have to endure such abhorrent treatment. In a place where they should have been enjoying football, families and even small children were afraid. I’m hoping this won’t occur again. Without a doubt, we players always defend our flag and our people.

I’ll never wear the Argentina shirt again after the Copa America. Saying farewell to the best aspects of my career—wearing the blue and white shirt, feeling proud of it, and burning myself for it—was tough.

I want to thank all of the fans. I’m grateful, family. I’m grateful to my teammates and friends. We have created history, and we will continue to do so. Argentina, let’s go.

El Fideo, I’m grateful for everything. He is, and always will be, a legend. EVERLASTING LOVE, Angel!
