37-year-old Di Maria is almost crying! In just 20 minutes, she is so ecstatic that she is eliminated. There is no other deputy football king in Europe

Club World Cup 1/8 finals, Chelsea and Benfica staged an incredible script:

Chelsea lead 1-0, and there are 5 minutes left to end. The thunderstorm hit and the game was delayed by 106 minutes. In the 86th minute, Benfica tied in the 95th minute. In the overtime stage, Benfica was dyed red at the beginning, conceded 3 goals in 9 minutes and crashed. Chelsea advanced to the quarterfinals 4-1, and fought against Palmeiras in the quarter-finals.

For fans all over the world, this is a unique experience - a football match that lasted for 5 hours. This is also an unforgettable experience for Di Maria, 37. Benfica was eliminated, which also means that Di Maria ushered in a curtain call, and there will be no angels in European football since then. Before the Club World Cup, Di Maria announced that she would leave Benfica this summer and return to Rosario, Argentina. In the Club World Cup, Benfica qualified in the first place in the group to advance to the top 16, which also means that any knockout game may be an angel's farewell performance. The curtain call for Benfica of Di Maria is still here, it is "wild".

Angel was once a savior. In the 92nd minute, Chelsea's Gusto handball in the penalty area and Benfica won a penalty!

Di Maria stood at the penalty point and calmly pushed the ball with her left foot, Benfica tied 1-1! This is also Di Maria's fourth goal scored in this Club World Cup, all of which were scored by penalty kicks. In the stands, Di Maria's family was very excited and cheered for the Angel's peace.

However, at the beginning of the overtime, Benfica's Christiani was dyed red, and Benfica, who was desperate to bet, was caught by Chelsea in the empty space and beaten hard. Nkunku, Neto and Hall scored three goals in 8 minutes, and Chelsea secured the victory 4-1.

For Di Maria, this is a cruel plot. The camera is aimed at the angel for a long time - the Argentine superstar bows his head and says nothing, with a sad expression and almost burst into tears. From the usual ecstasy of penalty kicks to the flash crash of 3 goals in a row, heaven and hell were only 20 minutes apart. After 120 minutes of fierce battle, Di Maria has tried her best, but unfortunately she is unable to turn things around.

Benfica was eliminated, and Di Maria's European football journey has come to an end. The Club World Cup has 4 goals and 19 goals and 10 assists in 44 games in all competitions this season. Di Maria is still strong and outstanding.

From then on, there were no more angels in European football. In July 2007, Di Maria left Rosario Central and joined Benfica, and since then embarked on the road to superstars; in the summer of 2025, Di Maria left Benfica and returned to Rosario Central. In 18 years, the young boys became the "deputy king of football", Di Maria was also perfect enough.
