It was an emotional Angel Di Maria as he took a bow while announcing his retirement from playing for the Argentina national team.
Making the announcement, he said, “What truly brought me to tears is knowing that I won’t play alongside Messi and Argentina again.
“I won’t share the pitch with my friend, the man who helped me win the World Cup and Copa America.
“He’s the person who, even on your worst days, can lift you up. Score the crucial goals, and instantly brighten your mood.
“A great leader, always pushing us to be stronger. Thanks to Messi, we became an unbreakable team.”
“He gave everything he had for his country, for his love of Argentina.
“He sacrificed so much to make us champions. Shouldering immense pressure while guiding us toward victory. I am incredibly proud of him.
“It’s tough to leave the team, knowing I’m leaving behind someone like Messi. A man from whom we’ve all learned so much.
“There will never be anyone greater than him, both in football and in humanity. He has a heart full of kindness. Always wishing the best for others. I love you, Messi,” the emotional Di Maria said.
