A hurtful word from Di Maria to the Brazilian defender after scoring the goal to crown Argentina (video)

Argentine Angel Di Maria led his country to the Copa America title for the first time in 28 years, at the expense of the Brazilian traditional rival, and at his home in the famous "Maracana" stadium.

Di Maria scored the only winning goal in the 22nd minute of the Copa America final, after a charming pass from his colleague Rodrigo de Paul, and quickly caught it before playing it over the goalkeeper in the Brazilian net.

Di Maria mocked the Brazil defender during his statements to the media and international news agencies, saying: “I received a perfect pass from Rodrigo de Paul and took advantage of a mistake made by Renan Lodi. I went ahead and scored the goal."

And the French star of Paris Saint-Germain added: “This title is of great value, because we have been waiting for it for three decades, and we also achieved it on the land of Brazil, the host of the tournament, and at the famous “Maracana” stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the tournament would have been held in our country, but the circumstances of the virus. Corona led to its transfer outside Argentina, and we ended up here, to win the title."

Di Maria won the award for the best player in the final match of the Copa America this year, after he was the most dangerous in the two teams, and scored the only goal of the match, as he beat the duo Messi and Neymar during the exciting classic final.
