Having been away celebrating with the Argentina team, the Juventus winger visited his favourite tattoo artist to add to his collection.

There also appear to be three stars above the trophy, which are likely to represent Argentina's World Cup triumphs in 1978, 1986, and 2022.

Di María postpones retirement from international football

Meanwhile, Angel Di Maria may have changed his decision to retire from international football after winning the World Cup with Argentina, AS Soccer reports.

Di Mara, like Messi, would like to continue playing for the Albiceleste for a little bit longer so that he may enjoy the title of being called world champion.

Messi and Di Mara are now expected to play a part in Argentina's next game slated for the next FIFA matchday, which runs from March 20–28, 2023, when the world champions will be seen for the first time with the three stars.

Di Maria sent his wife moving message

Earlier, Sports Brief reported new messages believed to be from Angel Di Maria to his wife Jorgelina Cardoso before the World Cup final have revealed how the winger was convinced Argentina was going to win.

Di Maria made a timely return to Argentina's starting eleven against France in the final and was the man of the match in the first half by winning a penalty converted by Lionel Messi and scoring the second goal.

Lionel Scaloni's game plan fell through when he hooked off the Juventus winger in the 64th minute with Kylian Mbappe scoring a quickfire double to force the game to extra time.
