Away from Benfica, Di María joins football’s global elite | OneFootball

Ángel Di María entered the top-10 of the most successful players ever. At 37 years old, the former winger of Benfica won his 37th career title, the first with the Rosario Central jersey, the club that launched him into professional football.

After finishing a second stint at Clube da Luz, where he also won a Super Cup and a League Cup, Di María achieved his first trophy in Argentina, a victory that can be considered peculiar. In other words, Rosario Central, without being champions, was crowned as such.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the albiceleste club received the Argentine champion trophy without even winning the Apertura or Clausura Tournament. In this case, Rosario Central received the cup for having accumulated the most points across all competitions, becoming the highest-scoring team of the 2025 calendar year.

Despite being an unusual achievement, it counts towards the record, making Ángel Di María - who recently left a message for Gianluca Prestianni - enter the top-10 of the most successful footballers, collecting his 37th career trophy.

Ángel Di María - currently valued at 2 million euros - appears on an exclusive list led by his compatriot Lionel Messi, who has 46 titles. It was alongside the Argentine star that Fideo also reached the pinnacle of world football in 2022, when the national team from the pampas won the World Cup, held in Qatar.
