Di María Is What Maradona Warned Us About — 17 Years Ago

Suscribe and comment if you think DiMaria is underrated Diego Maradona said he'd die with him. It took Argentina seventeen years to understand why. Ángel Di María missed the 2014 World Cup final through injury. He lasted 24 minutes of the 2015 final before his leg gave out. He fought back to start the 2016 final and still wasn't enough. Three finals, three years, and a country that decided it had seen enough of him — right up until the two nights he delivered every major trophy Argentina has won since. This is the story of a kid who nearly spent his life delivering coal with his father, a coach who told him at fifteen he'd never be anything, a Champions League final where he outplayed Ramos, Bale, and Ronaldo and walked away with the actual Man of the Match award, and the goals in Rio and Qatar that finally proved Maradona right.
