His last tango with PSG was spectacular. And moving. After seven seasons spent in the colors of the capital club, Angel Di Maria, at the end of his contract in June, bowed out against Metz on the 38th day of Ligue 1. Present in the starting lineup lined up by Mauricio Pochettino, “El Fideo” ended his time at PSG with a goal. After a post from Lionel Messi, the left-handed magician scored his 93rd goal in 295 games with the capital club. Obviously moved, the Argentinian burst into tears, addressing his famous heart to the Parisian supporters.
A guard of honor when it comes out
A few minutes later, the best decisive passer in the history of PSG (111) was replaced by Ander Herrera and received a nice tribute from his partners. When he left the field, Angel Di Maria, still very affected, left the field with a guard of honor from his teammates. He also kissed the blue and red jersey crest.
Under the eyes of his wife in tears, the Argentinian also received a huge ovation from the Parc des Princes and the Collectif Ultras Paris, who stopped their strike during the second period.
After the match and before receiving the Hexagoal trophy from Andriy Shevchenko, Di Maria once again received a nice mark of consideration from the club. He again entered the lawn with his two daughters and his wife, to the applause of his teammates and the staff. A video of the Argentinian’s best moments in the Parisian jersey was then released.
“Di Maria deserves for everything he has done, he is a great gentleman”, claimed Marquinhos after the meeting at the microphone of Amazon Prime Video. “He’s a great game player, he always made the difference, always gave a lot of assists… We who have been there for a long time, it touches us to see players like him leave because they made history . But these are the choices of the club and we just have to thank them now”. A great way for Di Maria to close his book with PSG.
