The Argentina National Football Team is in the Copa America final for the second time in a row. Behind some star performers like Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez, and a strong midfield the team has a chance to win back-to-back titles – sixth time in their history. But with the title on the line, there looms a possibility of their star players from the past calling it a time on their international careers. It includes one of the most decorated footballers – Angel Di Maria. 37-Year-Old Luis Suarez Becomes Oldest Player to Score in Copa America History, Achieves Feat With Late Equaliser in Canada vs Uruguay Match.

The 36-year-old attacking midfielder won multiple trophies for his country. Right from a young age, he has proven to be the ‘difference maker’ along with Lionel Messi. The pair won the 2022 FIFA World Cup, 2021 Copa America, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a Finalissima title together for Argentina. Interestingly, Angel Di Maria was on the scoresheet in the final of all these tournaments, handing his team an advantage in the matches. He even won the FIFA U-20 World Cup for La Albiceleste, without Messi in the team. On July 15, 2024, he will be part of yet another final for Argentina, but will it be his last match with the team?

Will Angel Di Maria Retire After Argentina vs Colombia Copa America 2024 Final?

As mentioned earlier, Angel Di Maria has been an important player in Argentina’s offensive game plays. Playing in the sixth major final for his country at the senior level, (two World Cup finals and four Copa America finals) Angel Di Maria has already confirmed that it will be his last match for his national side. During Argentina’s run to the Copa America Finals, Angel Di Maria was part of all but two matches. He might be used as a starter to give his side an early advantage in the match, but the Argentina vs Colombia Copa America 2024 final will surely be his final match with the national side.
