Angel Di Maria, the winger for Argentina and Brand Ambassador of Hi88, concluded his international career with a triumphant victory over Colombia in the 2024 Copa américa.
After winning the Copa América in 2021 and the World Cup the following year, Argentina secured their third consecutive major title with a 1-0 victory in extra time. In November, the 36-year-old declared his retirement from international service with the intention of making this tournament his final.
“I dreamed it, which is why I stated that it was the final Copa América and that it concluded here.”
Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni replaced Di Maria in the final instant of extra time, enabling him to receive an impassioned farewell from the supporters. The event noticeably affected the veteran winger.
“I experience an abundance of beautiful emotions.” I am forever indebted to this generation. They provided me with everything I needed, enabling me to accomplish the things I greatly desired.
Today, I am departing in this manner. He contemplated, “What could be more advantageous than this?”
Di Maria has been a consistent member of the national team, alongside Lionel Messi, since they emerged victorious at the 2008 Olympics. The team frequently encountered difficulties in subsequent tournaments, frequently failing to advance to the finals, despite their initial successes.
Nevertheless, the ‘triple crown’, which includes the record 16th Copa America title, further solidifies the Lionel Scaloni team’s status as a South American football powerhouse.
“It may appear straightforward, but it is exceedingly challenging.” Di Maria, who is presently a player for Benfica, stated, “I am aware of this because I also lived on the other side for ten, eleven years, and I fought for it.”
“It is not an easy feat to advance to the finals and emerge victorious.” And now it’s happening. It was inevitable that a home point would occur, and I would have appreciated the opportunity to win one with the preceding group of players. He continued, “We persisted, we fought, and these individuals have everything that I possess.”
