Di María reacts to first trophy with Central and in Argentina | OneFootball

After the Argentine Football Association recognized Rosario Central as champions for finishing first in the annual table, Ángel Di María, one of those chosen to collect the trophy at the Professional League headquarters, did not hide his joy at winning his first tournament with the Canalla: “One more star for the club.”

Di María traveled to Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, to receive the trophy and, as he was leaving for the vehicle with the Rosario delegation, which also included goalkeeper Jorge Broun and president Gonzalo Belloso, he added: “I am very happy. It’s the result of a whole year’s work. The fans must be very happy.” Later, he wrote on his social media: “More than deserved.”

The world champion returned to the Rosario team after the 2025 Club World Cup and made his objective clear at his presentation: “To be champion here, that’s the only thing I’m missing. The dream of coming back was there, and I fulfilled it. Now the next is to try to be champion with Central, and that’s the wish my family and I have.”

El Fideo made his debut in the First Division wearing the blue and yellow jersey on December 14, 2005, against Independiente in Avellaneda, when Ángel Tulio Zof put him on the field for Emiliano Vecchio with just over 15 minutes left. He then scored six goals in 39 matches and was transferred to Benfica, in Portugal.

Upon his return to his beloved club, the former Real Madrid player scored seven goals and provided six assists in the 15 games he played in the Clausura. With this contribution and a great first half of the season, Ariel Holan’s team accumulated 66 points in 34 matches during the campaign, finished 4 points ahead of Boca Juniors, and claimed the championship title.

In this way, Rosario Central has now reached five titles in the top division of Argentine football, four trophies in the Second Division, two national cups, and one international title.
