After the epic victory of the Argentine National Team 2-1 against England in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup, Ángel di María did not want to stay silent. El Fideo, from his Instagram stories, sent an emotional and grateful message to his former teammates for everything they have been achieving.
"We cannot ask for anything more. We just have to thank them every day of our lives for what they did for football and for the Argentine people," wrote the Rosario native, highlighting the impact this generation has on the country.
We have had about 5 or 6 years of glory, passion, and unique moments thanks to you, Di María added, referring to the group of players who have carried the heavy burden of the albiceleste jersey.
The match was a true comeback. England took the lead with a goal from Anthony Gordon, but Argentina reacted with everything. Enzo Fernández took an impressive shot from outside the box to equalize the match, and Lautaro Martínez, coming off the bench, scored the winning goal with a header in the second minute of stoppage time.
The hand of Messi and the qualification to the final
As expected, Lionel Messi was key in the qualification. He assisted Enzo Fernández for the equalizer and then crossed for Lautaro's winning header. In this way, the National Team reached the World Cup final, where they will face Spain, the European champion.
Di María closed his message with a special request: "I just want to say thank you very much for a new final and for everything you give to Argentines. Oh, and I almost forgot, keep enjoying, because if you enjoy, we are happy."
