Angel has 41 assists, while Lionel has 40
Winger Benfica Angel Di Maria beat his ex-team partner in the Argentina national team, and now forward Inter Miami Lionel Messi by number of assists in Champions League.
In yesterday’s game against Monaco (3:2), Di Maria scored two assists, thereby bringing his total to 41. While Lionel Messi still has 40 assists to his name.
The leader in the number of assists in the Champions League is Cristiano Ronaldo (42).
36-year-old Angel Di Maria has played a total of 17 fights in all tournaments this season. In them, the Argentine scored 8 goals and made 4 assists.
Let us remember that in the summer, after winning the 2024 Copa America with the Argentina national team, Di Maria decided to end his international career and focus exclusively on his club career.
Angel’s current contract with Benfica runs until the end of the current 2024/25 season.
Benfica, whose colors are defended by Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin, will play their next match on December 1 away against Arouca.
