Ángel Di María scores twice, assists once in PSG win vs. Rennes

Ángel Di María scored twice and had an assist for PSG in their 3-0 win vs. Rennes.

Di María, who is back in the Argentina national team, nearly had a stellar performance for the league champions. After playing the assist in for the 1-0 lead, Di Maria came close to doubling their advantage with a shot from outside of the penalty area which hit the post.

The Argentine would eventually double their lead with a lovely chip over the goalkeeper. Di María would also make it 3-0 with a left footed shot from outside of the penalty area. With his two goals, the 32 year old moves up in PSG’s all time goal scorers ranking. He is now on 86 goals, 8 all time in scorers. He is also 9 goals away from number seven.

Lucas Martínez Quarta could miss Argentina matches due to COVID with Fiorentina

Lucas Martínez Quarta could miss Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers due to officials possibly not allowing him to travel.

Martínez Quarta, now of Fiorentina, could be blocked by the officials in the region after Fiorentina player Jose Callejon tested positive for COVID a few days ago. Per a report by TyC Sports, there is some optimism in that the Argentine would be allowed to travel and join the team.

As we reported earlier, Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni will be without Marcos Acuña and Paulo Dybala, both of which will not join the team for the matches this month.
