While Messi’s international career and Scaloni’s position as head coach continue to generate questions, Angel Di Maria believes both figures should remain involved with the national team due to one powerful reason.

After a 16-year drought, Spain was crowned champion of the 2026 World Cup, defeating Argentina. As a result, Álex Baena joined a select list of players to win three titles, alongside Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María.

Angel Di Maria managed to be one of the key players in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, he has not been included by head coach Lionel Scaloni in Argentina’s roster for the 2026 edition, making him a notable absence.

Jordi Alba was asked to pick the toughest player he played against at Barcelona, but his Real Madrid answer was not Cristiano Ronaldo.

Angel Di Maria has revealed the fundamental reason why he believes Lionel Messi holds the ultimate edge over long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Just weeks before the start of the 2026 World Cup, Argentina have officially announced their preliminary squad. Amid the uncertainty, head coach Lionel Scaloni has included Lionel Messi, while leaving out Ángel Di María along with five other champions from Qatar.

While Ángel Di María has stepped away from Argentina, he remains attentive to the development of his former teammates. For that reason, the 2022 World Cup winner delivered strong criticism of Atlético Madrid's handling of their stars, such as Julián Álvarez, exposing their weaknesses.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup fast approaching, Lionel Messi could see the return of an Argentine star who retired from international soccer years ago.

Argentina icon Angel Di Maria spoke about the comparisons between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Amid an uncertain spell with Santos, speculation has emerged about a possible move for Neymar to an Argentine club where Angel Di Maria currently plays.

Ángel Di María has cemented his place as a national team legend, scoring decisive goals in finals at the 2008 Olympics, the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 Finalissima, and the 2022 World Cup.

Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, former teammate in Argentina Angel Di Maria has made things clear on Lionel Messi's participation in the tournament.

With his future at Inter Miami still in the air Angel Di Maria addressed the possibility of Lionel Messi returning to Argentina after he completed his return to Rosario Central.

The second round of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage delivered yet another twist—this time, not from the action on the pitch, but from an unexpected interruption that left fans and players momentarily in limbo.

While most expected a fairytale return to the Camp Nou, that chapter may not be reopening. In fact, Lionel Messi’s next stop may not be in Europe at all.
