Angel Di Maria Poised to Surpass Cristiano Ronaldo in Champions League Assists
Angel Di Maria is on the verge of becoming the all-time assist leader in the UEFA Champions League, needing just one more to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo's record.
Argentine winger Angel Di Maria is set to make history in the UEFA Champions League by potentially surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo as the competition's all-time assist leader. Currently, Di Maria has recorded 41 assists, placing him just one behind Ronaldo's record of 42. This milestone comes after Di Maria's recent performance for Benfica, where he provided two assists in a 3-2 victory over Monaco, elevating him above Lionel Messi, who has 40 assists in the tournament.
Di Maria's opportunity to break the record could arrive in Benfica's upcoming match against Bologna. His consistent playmaking abilities have been instrumental throughout his career, contributing significantly to the success of his teams in European competitions. Notably, Di Maria has achieved this feat in fewer matches compared to his peers, underscoring his efficiency and vision on the field.
As Benfica continues its Champions League campaign, all eyes will be on Di Maria to see if he can set a new benchmark for assists, further cementing his legacy in European football.
