Diego Costa's departure to Chelsea has opened up the position at left-wing for Atletico Madrid, and with that came a new player in Di Maria.

The Argentine forward arrived from Paris Saint-Germain on a £42 million transfer, making him one of the most expensive signings in history.

With his arrival, he was immediately thrown into action, playing against Valencia in the Champions League.

Despite being a big signing, Di Maria struggled to make an impact in the game, and it looked like he would not be able to break through to the first team.

However, his performance against Valencia changed everything.

He scored two goals and provided an assist, which earned him a place in the starting lineup for the next match against Real Madrid.

His performances were so impressive that he was named as the best player of the game.

This is a huge breakthrough for Di Maria, who had previously been struggling to find his feet in Europe.

He has shown that he can play at the highest level and has already proven himself to be a top-class striker.

With this win, he will now be looking to continue his impressive form and help Atletico Madrid achieve success in the upcoming season.
