Angel Di Maria delighted again with Benfica last weekend, scoring a hat-trick in the Portuguese Cup, including a superb acrobatic return. Adrien Rabiot, who continues his matches with OM, has settled his scores with PSG, via Téléfoot.
Former PSG players stood out last weekend, but not for the same reasons. In Spain, Kylian Mbappé found his left wing and the net with Real Madrid, after a caviar from Vinicius Junior, but has not yet chased away all the doubts concerning him.
Di Maria's new jewel with Benfica
In Portugal, Angel Di Maria scored a hat-trick in the Portuguese Cup during Benfica's crushing 7-0 victory against CF Estrela Amadora. And the 36-year-old Argentine winger, who recently scored a gem against Santa Clara or even a double against Porto, notably scored a magnificent goal with a superb acrobatic return.
In a completely different register, the neo-Marseillais Adrien Rabiot, starting Saturday in Lens, spoke to Téléfoot on Sunday and settled scores with the PSG supporters, who did not defend him enough for his liking during his difficult end of journey at the club.
“When I was in the closet, the supporters did not come to defend me”
“I'm not going to lie to you, when I was at PSG, they didn't give me anything, they didn't give me any gifts, they weren't behind me more than that. So now, to say after five years at Juventus: “Yes, we took care of him”. You have to stop. There was none of that. My last season, when I was in the closet, the supporters did not come to defend me to get me out of there so we have to stop the hypocrisy”blurted the Duke.
The latter was visibly affected by the criticism that resulted from his signing in Marseille: “The only thing I don’t understand is the lack of respect. We can be unhappy, disappointed, but I don't accept the lack of respect on the networks. Afterwards, the rest is football, we may not be happy and that I respect (…) It's a little sad to see these things because in the end it's just football. There are other things which are much more important and I am well placed to know that (…) Afterwards, I was able to disappoint certain people who were attached to me, who had the image of Adrien Rabiot at PSG, yes I can understand that. »
