Di María

Di María in action at the Estádio da Madeira

Man of the Match in Benfica's win against Nacional last Thursday, December 19, Di María brought out his class when it came to finishing (he scored two goals), but he also stood out a lot when it came to defensive actions. Among the eagles, the number 11 was the player who recovered the most balls at the Estádio da Madeira.

In the game in hand of the Liga Betclic, from matchday 8,the Reds went into the game with the declared aim of winning and thus strengthening their position in the competition. The Benfica team put in a solid performance and won 0-2, just as Di María's performance was consistent and diverse, shining in the build-up to attacks (he scored two goals, reaching the tally of 11 this season) and also in situations of (re)winning possession of the ball.
