An Argentina international, Di Maria has featured several times with Barcelona captain Lionel Messi since making his debut back in 2006.
Angel Di Maria: "It was a dream to have the possibility to play with Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo and Messi. They were players that I used on the PlayStation and I would never have imagined I'd get to play with them. But Leo is the best of the four."
