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.
