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

After the Argentine Football Association recognized Rosario Central as the champion for finishing first in the annual standings, Angel Di María, one of the representatives to collect the trophy at the Professional League headquarters, did not hide his joy for winning his first tournament with the Canalla: “Another star for the club.”

Di María traveled to Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, to receive the trophy and, as he was leaving for the vehicle of the Rosario delegation, also composed of goalkeeper Jorge Broun and president Gonzalo Belloso, he added: “I am very happy. It's the work of the whole year. The people must be very happy.” Then, 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 during his presentation: “To be a champion here, it's the only thing I lack. The dream of returning was there, I fulfilled it. Now the next one is to try to be a champion with Central, and it is the wish that my family and I have.”

El Fideo debuted in the First Division with the blue and yellow jersey on December 14, 2005, against Independiente in Avellaneda, as Ángel Tulio Zof put him on the field for Emiliano Vecchio when there were just over 15 minutes left. Later, he scored six goals in 39 matches and was transferred to Benfica, Portugal.

In his return to the club of his dreams, 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 year, Ariel Holan's team accumulated 66 points in 34 matches in the campaign, pulling 4 points ahead of Boca Juniors and winning the championship title.

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