A third star engraved in the memories, and even in the skin for Angel Di Maria. The Juventus midfielder from Turin, author of a very good performance in the final, has had the World Cup trophy tattooed. The former Paris Saint Germain winger posted the progress of this tattoo on social media. The drawing is located on the entire right thigh of the Argentinian left-hander. In the foreground, the World Cup is obviously highlighted overhung by the three stars of Albiceleste, symbol of the three World Cups won (1978, 1986 and 2022).
In the background, the sun on the flag of Argentina (“El Sol de Mayo”) hides just behind the trophy. What largely celebrate the coronation of his selection but also his performance in the final. Already the only scorer in the final victory against Brazil in the Copa America last year, Angel Di Maria has again outperformed against the France team this time around. After getting the first penalty of the game by beating Ousmane Dembélé, the former PSG player then doubled the mark before leaving after the hour mark.
Was this then his last match under the colors of Argentina? The man with 129 caps and 28 goals with the Albiceleste had hinted at it several times. However, TyC Sports, a generally well-informed Argentinian media, announced that he should continue his adventure in the selection just like Lionel Messi. Case to follow.
