He did it again! With his silky left paw, we already knew Angel Di Maria capable of transforming any ball into gold. Even a corner, although not the most suitable situation to try your luck directly. However, the Argentine world champion did it this Tuesday evening in the Champions League with his club Benfica, in a decisive match against RB Salzburg. We play the 32nd minute of play, the score is still 0-0 and the SLB needs to win against the Austrians to hope to snag an unexpected ticket for the Europa League.
Di Maria then tries his luck directly at the corner post… and takes advantage of the forest of players in front of Schlager to surprise him, and deceive him. The doorman, not exempt from all reproach, could do nothing.
It was therefore not the first time that Rosario’s false paw had succeeded in this strange exercise. Always dangerous, his corners had shaken the nets twice when he played for Paris Saint-Germain. The first time was five years ago during a match in Nîmes. The second was in 2021, in Brest… a goal which was ultimately awarded against his camp to Romain Faivre, but for which he can at least claim the beauty of the gesture.
This Tuesday evening in any case, this goal is all his and he put his club, Benfica, on a very good track to get this 3rd place in group D. Victorious 3-1, the Portuguese replaced their opponents there. in the evening and will therefore return to Europe at the beginning of 2024, even if it is one step lower.
