Di María Stuns Fans by Choosing Leandro Paredes Over Messi as Favourite Argentine
Angel Di María surprised everyone in a recent Ballon d’Or interview by naming his former PSG teammate Leandro Paredes as his favourite Argentine, leaving Lionel Messi off the list. He also revealed his top picks from other nations: Neymar for Brazil, Pedri for Spain, Thomas Müller for Germany, Xavi Simons for the Netherlands and Kylian Mbappé for France. Di María’s bond with Paredes dates back to their time together at Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. Despite decades of shared glory with Messi – from Olympic gold in 2008, Copa América titles to the 2022 World Cup triumph – this unexpected choice has sparked a heated debate among football fans.
