Leandro Paredes admits his admiration for former Benfica star: I was lucky | OneFootball

Leandro Paredes was one of the players who reacted to the draw between Boca Juniors and Rosario Central and could not remain indifferent to the talent of Ángel Di María. According to the former World Champion, the Olympic goal scored by the former Benfica player will be unforgettable.

At the end of the match, which took place at La Bombonera, the stronghold of the Buenos Aires emblem, Fideo's former teammate was captivated by the athlete: ""Obviously part of the goal is due to his hierarchy and quality, because otherwise, the game would have ended 1-0. For me it's a pleasure"

After praising the Olympic goal that the former number 11 of the eagles signed, the midfielder recalled the moments where he played alongside him, both in clubs and the national team: ""I really enjoyed being by his side. I was lucky to share many years with him at PSG, Juventus and the national team. It was the first time I played against him, I enjoyed it a lot".

At the end of the match, after signing another masterpiece, the 38-year-old winger reacted to Paredes' words and commented on the reunion with the athlete, with whom they even exchanged a jersey: ""We talked a little. He's a temperamental player and on the field there are no friends or anything. It's all good".

After leaving Benfica, at the end of the Club World Cup participation, Di María continues to follow the journey of the eagles and has even reacted, through a publication of the Club da Luz, where he left a message of support for Nicolás Otamendi.
