Di Maria leaves as the best passer in club history. The winger has played 294 games, with 91 goals and 111 assists. That resulted in 5 titles, 5 French cups and 5 Liga cups, but the Champions League with PSG will always remain a dream.
PSG brought him to Manchester United in 2015, before that he made good weather at Benfica and Real Madrid. Nothing but top clubs for the pointed winger.
“The supporters will never forget his impeccable spirit, his commitment to defend our colors was absolute,” club president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said in a statement.
DI Maria was a fixture on the flank for years, the arrival of his illustrious compatriot Lionel Messi pushed him a bit more to the bench.
The club decided not to extend the option for an extra season in Di Maria’s contract, which expires in June.
Coach Mauro Pochettino, another Argentine, also said goodbye: “He is an exceptional player with an incredible career. He has achieved tremendous things here over the past 7 years. He is among the best players ever to have worn this shirt.”
The Parc des Princes will not soon forget the left leg: its efficiency on stationary phases and its iconic celebration, a heart formed with his hands. That will be seen one last time at his goodbye tonight.
