At 36 years old, Ángel Di María continues to defy age and showcase his brilliance on the grandest stages of football. The Benfica star has now surpassed Lionel Messi with 41 assists in the UEFA Champions League, solidifying his place among the competition’s all-time great playmakers.
Di María is just one assist away from matching Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs (42 assists each), who currently share the record for the most assists in Champions League history. Given his current form, it’s only a matter of time before El Fideo claims the top spot.
The Argentine has been in sensational form recently:
5 goals and 3 assists in his last three matches for Benfica.
A standout performance with 2 goals against Porto and a hat-trick last Saturday.
Added 2 assists in the Champions League against Monaco yesterday, further cementing his legacy.
Di María’s remarkable achievements and consistent performances underscore his longevity and skill, proving that age is no barrier for those with extraordinary talent.
