DBasia.news – Argentinean footballer Angel Di Maria will retire from international football after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the former Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Manchester United forward said.
“After this World Cup there will come a time, there are many players who are at international level, who are getting better and little by little they will show that they are of this standard,” said Di Maria.
Di Maria (34), played 121 games for the national team and scored 24 goals.
He scored the winner last July as Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 to win the Copa America and lift their first major title in 28 years.
Di Maria will leave PSG this summer and he has yet to decide where he will play his club-level football next season but said continuing at international level “it would be a bit selfish after all these years and having achieved what I wanted to achieve.”
“After (Qatar) I will definitely take a step aside.”
