Angel di Maria: 'I'd swap all my medals for Argentina success'

Angel di Maria says that there would be "nothing more special" for him than to win silverware with Argentina.

Angel di Maria has said that he would trade everything that he has won at club level in order to win a trophy with Argentina.

The 27-year-old has won league titles with Benfica and Real Madrid, but he is yet to taste success in the colours of his home country.

While Di Maria says that each trophy he has won at club level has been special, he admits that it is nothing compared to what it would be like to help La Albiceleste end their barren run without silverware.

"I would swap all that I have won with my clubs to win something with the national team," he told the Copa America's official website. "There can be nothing more special than that. We were just a step away [at the World Cup] and we felt it was ours.

"Everything you can win with your clubs is special, it's spectacular. Having won the Champions League was the best thing that happened to be at club level, the best thing in my life. But winning something with Argentina would be even more special.

"Because it is your country, because you feel the shirt and a country behind you. We experienced that in Brazil. Every time we went out onto a pitch, we knew there were 40 million Argentines behind us."

Di Maria has made 62 appearances for Argentina and was part of their squad that reached the World Cup final last year.
