Angel Di Maria has hit back at Lothar Matthaus after he discredited Lionel Messi's Ballon d'Or win, brazenly telling the Germany legend to 'go cry somewhere else'.
Matthaus was disapproving to see that Messi had won his eighth Ballon d'Or, calling it a 'farce' that the World Cup winner took home the plaudits.
He believes that the deserving winner is Erling Haaland after his 52-goal spree fired Manchester City to a Treble.
'Haaland has done better than Messi for the entire year,' he told Sky Germany.
