Angel di Maria SNUBS Cristiano Ronaldo as he reveals the best XI he has ever played with... as he includes a current Premier League star and a former Liverpool midfielder

Angel Di Maria has revealed the best players he has ever played with - but showed no mercy to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The creative icon is nearing the end of his Argentina career as he intends to retire from international football after the Copa America in the summer.

With his career winding down, the Benfica midfielder has been asked to reflect on some of the greatest stars he has shared a pitch with - and torn opposition teams apart alongside - in an interview with MARCA.

In goal, he opted for Emi Martinez ahead of Iker Casillas and David de Gea after the Aston Villa custodian's heroic exploits at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which Argentina won.
