Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has termed Angel di Maria the best player in the Real Madrid squad.

The Argentine winger’s future at Los Blancos has been a source of constant speculation this summer and Di Maria is thought to be available at the right price.




The 26-year-old, who has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and Manchester United, came on as a substitute for Luka Modric in the second half of Real Madrid’s 1-1 Spanish Super Cup first leg draw against the Spanish champions last night.

Simeone feels Di Maria was the best player on the pitch for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and changed the game during the latter stages with his presence.
 


“Di Maria is the best player at Real Madrid”, the Atletico Madrid manager was quoted as saying by Argentine daily Clarin.

“When he entered in the second half they began to dominate.”

The former Argentine international feels that his team put up a good performance in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup tie, but Di Maria changed the complexion of the game at the end.

“We played more like we wanted and the game was moving at pace we wanted it to.

“We had three or four good chances to open the scoring, but the game changed with the arrival of Di Maria.”
