37-year-old Di Maria is simply a representative of the reverse growth of football! At 0 a.m. tomorrow, he will wear Benfica's robe to compete in the Portuguese Cup finals and strive for the 37th career championship trophy! What is even more touching is that this "angel" has announced his departure after the end of the season, and this final is likely to be his curtain call in the top European leagues.

Since its arrival in Benfica in 2007, Di Maria's career has been a "counterattack textbook". He is the main champion of the Champions League at Real Madrid, he won the Ligue 1 championship in Paris 5, and in the Argentina national team, he has gathered three major champions in the World Cup, Copa America and Olympics. What's even more amazing is that he can always stage "Angel Arrival" in the final - the only goal in the 2008 Beijing Olympic final, the winning goal in the 2021 Copa America final, the 2022 World Cup final, his name is available in every key battle.

The most convincing thing is that at the age of 37, he can still perform magical operations of overtaking on the sidelines and scoring directly on the corner kick. De's turnover is still worth 3 million euros, and this state makes the young people ashamed.

After the final match of the league last week, Di Maria announced her departure on social media with tears in her eyes: "This is my last Portuguese Super League game, and I am proud to be able to wear this jersey again." Although 37-year-old Di Maria is in excellent condition, she will eventually make way for the future.

Currently, Di Maria has 36 championships in her career (32 championships in the club + 4 championships in the national team), and as long as she wins the championship, she can tie Alves' South American player record. Although Di Maria has not officially announced her new home yet, various news has been flying all over the world. Among them, Miami International is very interested in him. If the transfer is in progress, he will have the opportunity to join forces with his old friend Messi again, which is undoubtedly a major highlight for fans. At the same time, there are also reports that he may return to Benfica B team as a coach and continue to contribute to the club's youth training career; in addition, Serie A AC Milan has also had scandals with him. According to people familiar with the matter, Di Maria prefers to stay in Europe, and he hopes to use the last time of his career to prove that age is not a shackle that limits his football dream.

No matter what choice Di Maria finally makes, he has left a strong mark in football history. He conquered countless fans with his speed and technology, and interpreted the spirit of football with his persistence and love. This Portuguese Cup final will be the best opportunity for fans to pay tribute to the legendary star. Let us look forward to the last flight of "Angel" together!
