"Paris Saint-Germain" forward Angel Di Maria revealed that he almost moved to "Barcelona" during the winter. There was a lot of media speculation about this transfer, which would have been very controversial, as the Argentine previously played for Madrid's "Real". Not long ago, it seemed that the 29-year-old footballer became surplus to requirements in Paris after Neymar and Kylian Mbappe arrived, but recently he has managed to prove his worth. "I was really close to moving to 'Barcelona', but ultimately it didn't happen," Di Maria told "TyC Sports". "However, in 2018 I started positively and I am really happy. I prefer to assist in scoring goals rather than scoring them myself." Di Maria is most interested in the possibility of playing alongside his friend Lionel Messi in the Argentina national team. "Messi is always the best. He is the best every year. Cristiano Ronaldo is a special player, but Messi is from another planet," added the forward. "There are no words to describe Messi, he always amazes you."
