Angel Di Maria was arguably the most important figure for Real Madrid in the 2013-14 season, contributing to the long-awaited tenth UEFA Champions League title. This week, the Argentine national team winger will face off against his former team Real Madrid with Paris Saint-Germain, who have already triumphed in this tournament twice in a row. On Wednesday, PSG will face Real in the first leg of the quarterfinals, with Di Maria not underestimating the opponents and emphasizing that PSG is stronger than ever this year. "We are stronger than last season," said Di Maria. "In these matches, your team must have more than just talent. To win these games you need a bit of luck as well." Real Madrid is a great team that always displays the best football in the Champions League. When you hear the anthem of this tournament in that team, the players somehow transform themselves and give their all. Real is not a team that likes to control the ball, but it is almost impossible to control the game against them as well. We need to play natural football - the one we've been playing all season, and then we can hope for something," added the Argentine who played for four years in Madrid.
