Angel Di Maria possesses pure magic in his football boots.

Regardless of any criticisms about his time at Manchester United, there's no disputing that the Argentine star stands among the world's elite playmakers when he's in top form.

Besides, there have been numerous occasions where one could argue that the former Real Madrid winger has played a more pivotal role for La Albiceleste than even Lionel Messi.

Although Argentina wasn't exactly depending on Di Maria during their opening World Cup qualifier against Ecuador last week, the 35-year-old certainly put on a show for his teammates regardless of the altitude in La Paz.

Di Maria's ridiculous assist versus Bolivia

ESPN reported that Angel Di Maria whipped in a stunning low pass to Enzo Fernandez, who slotted home beautifully against Bolivia.

Di Maria brilliantly created Argentina's opening goal during their 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

The Benfica winger curled in a ridiculous low cross as he picked out the Chelsea midfielder, who scored from close range to put his side in the lead.

Di Maria was also involved in the second goal, delivering the ball into the penalty box with a free kick in the 42nd minute, allowing Nicolas Tagliafico to find the net with his shoulder, per Sportskeeda.

Nico González extended Argentina's lead in the 83rd minute, firing a precise shot from the edge of the box that found the right side of the net, leaving goalkeeper Billy Viscarra with no chance.

Fans praise Angel Di Maria

Football fans erupted with excitement when an Argentina squad without Lionel Messi triumphed 3-0 over Bolivia in La Paz during a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, Sports Brief earlier reported.

Messi had made the journey to the high-altitude city of La Paz but was not included by La Albiceleste's manager, Lionel Scaloni, in the squad for the match.

Fans were not just delighted by the World Champion's convincing win in the absence of their inspirational captain but also praised Angel Di Maria's performance.
