Di Maria surprised everyone by choosing 5 Argentine legends in the squad

Angel Di Maria has just shared with La Nacion about the squad of the 5 greatest players in the history of Argentine football in his personal opinion - and there is a surprise that has fans talking.

Angel di Maria is a legend of Argentine football.

Without hesitation, the veteran striker quickly named Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Mario Alberto Kempes - three indispensable legends of the “Albiceleste”. The fourth name, Daniel Passarella, made him hesitate a bit. But the biggest surprise was the final choice: Rodrigo De Paul.

“Rodri is an important part of this generation,” Di Maria explained. “He is not only the ‘little engine’ on the pitch, but also the spirit of unity in the dressing room. Even if he is not captain, he is a real leader.”

In the same conversation, Di Maria also revealed that he had never followed MLS before, but now bought season tickets to watch Inter Miami, just because of Messi. Speaking about his close teammate, he affirmed that the number 10 must be present at the 2026 World Cup: “Messi has to play, regardless of his physical condition. He keeps the team strong and continues to inspire the fans. Like Diego before him, they are from another planet. We have to enjoy every moment Messi is on the pitch.”

With that emotional choice, Di Maria not only paid tribute to the golden generation of the past, but also honored the special role of De Paul - the silent leader in the journey to bring Argentina back to the top of world football.
