Di María Wins Title with Messi-Style Free Kick

Before the match, Di María watched on his phone Messi's free-kick goal against the United States in the 2016 Copa América. When he faced a similar situation during the final, the Argentine winger attempted to imitate his compatriot's technique—and succeeded. "I'm not Leo, I thought, but maybe it comes out..." Di María admitted after sealing the championship.

The victory in Santiago del Estero wasn't without controversy, as politics and football created a tense atmosphere throughout the tournament. Despite the surrounding tensions, Di María's performance and match-winning goal were the highlights of the Supercopa Internacional final, adding another trophy to his decorated career. chickenroad-game.rodeo
