Former Real Madrid forward Angel Di Maria
Former Argentina goalkeeper Hugo Gatti believes Angel Di Maria left Real Madrid because of his wife Jorgelina Cardoso. Fideo arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2010 from Benfica as an emerging star in world football
The Argentina forward spent four campaigns with Los Blancos, scoring 36 goals and setting up 85 more from 190 games across competitions. He left the LaLiga champions in the summer of 2014 to join Manchester United.
Speaking to La Nacion, Gatti insisted that Di Maria left Real Madrid because he got carried away.
"He was a great player at Real Madrid, but he left because he got carried away one day and they didn't forgive him. And he left because his wife wanted to leave. That's the problem with players: when your career is controlled by your wife, it gets complicated. The same thing happens with this 'Copavino,' who didn't win and everyone talks about it," Gatti said.
