Argentina winger Angel Di Maria said Sunday’s Copa America triumph over Colombia was the perfect dream ending to his career with the national team.
A 1-0 win after extra-time secured a third straight major title for the Albiceleste following their 2021 Copa win and their World Cup triumph the following year.
The 36-year-old winger had announced in November that he would retire from international duty after the tournament. “The truth is, this was written, it was this way. I dreamt it, that’s why I said it was the last Copa America and it ended here. I dreamt that I would reach the final, I dreamt that I would win it, that I would retire like this,” he said.
