Ángel Di María

Di Maria is the player I point to when explaining the difference between fame and importance. Messi drew the headlines, but in Argentina's biggest finals it was so often Di Maria who delivered the decisive goal, the moments that defined a generation. That lanky, almost awkward elegance on the left foot hides a ruthless big-game temperament, and his record as the top Argentine assist provider in the Champions League proves the craftsmanship behind it. The ending moves me most: leaving European glamour to captain Rosario Central, the club of his home city. Few modern footballers write their own final chapter with that much heart.
