Paris Saint-Germain and Argentine international, Angel Di Maria has said that Real Madrid are showing that they do not regret selling him to Manchester United in 2014.
The Argentine played a vital role in their Champions League and Copa del Rey victory in 2013-14 before making a €75million switch to Old Trafford, with Madrid ready to splash out on Colombia star James Rodriguez.
The winger suffered unmemorable spell in England but has recaptured some form with Paris Saint-Germain this season and set up Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the crucial second goal as they defeated England champions, Chelsea 2-1 away in the Champions League last-16 second leg on Wednesday.
But the 28-year-old has rejected the opinion that Madrid misses the qualities he brings.
“I don’t think Madrid need a player like me, they have players with quality and experience. They’re players who cost a lot of money and are showing that,” he told El Larguero.
“The [Santiago] Bernabeu fans are very demanding with the players and I hope things go well for them, because I have a lot of friends there.”
Di Maria sees his former club, Real Madrid and holders Barcelona as the two potential winners of the Champions League this season.
He said, “Madrid and Barca are always favourites, they always reach the final rounds.”
