The Argentine great Angel Di Maria has been in the news as he continues to take the meds to cop the three straight finals losses with his national side.
Di Maria won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 Copa America at his career twilight. Before that, he lost two Copa America finals and World Cup in 3-year span.
“Because of that I’m still taking the meds,”.“I was able to reduce it (dosage). I’m much better, but that’s something a little addictive, too … These are things that stay with you, that mark you.” Di María told Infobae as reported in ESPN.
Di Maria played a pivotal role for Argentina in the 2022 World Cup, especially in the finals against the then-defending champs France.

“Who remembers the boys that reached that World Cup final and didn’t win?” he said. “Very few, it seems unfair to me. Who is talking about those kids? Nobody. Very few can tell you how they played. I said it a lot of times when we became world champions, when we won the Copa América, I always said that those trophies were also [thanks] to the previous generation.”
Farewell From International Football
Di Maria eventually retired from International football last summer. “I was there for 16 years (with the national team) and it is as if I had been in a club,” Di María said. “It’s difficult, but I think I made the right decision. It’s obvious that it tempts me because it’s the national team. I achieved everything I wanted to achieve. I left the way I wanted to leave … “I hope one day I can be there again, in a different role.”
