Ángel Di María has etched his name deeper into Champions League history, surpassing Lionel Messi to claim 41 assists in the competition. The 36-year-old Benfica playmaker now sits just one assist shy of tying the all-time record of 42, held jointly by Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs.
Di María’s recent form has been nothing short of sensational. In his last three matches for Benfica, he has contributed five goals and three assists, including a brace against Porto, a hat-trick last weekend, and two crucial assists during Benfica’s clash with Monaco in the Champions League.
Fabrizio Romano recently spotlighted the Argentine’s remarkable achievements, praising his enduring class and relentless drive. As “El Fideo” approaches the all-time assist record, he continues to defy expectations and age, cementing his status as one of the competition’s all-time greats.
With his unparalleled vision and precision on the pitch, Di María’s pursuit of the record is a testament to his legendary career and ongoing ability to inspire football fans worldwide.
