The saying that form is temporary and class is permanent certainly applies to Benfica’s Angel Di Maria.

Back in Portugal this season after a 13-year hiatus, the Argentinian gave his side the lead just after the half hour in a must-win Champions League tie against RB Salzburg.

The goal came straight from a corner as Di Maria whipped the ball home without it being touched by anyone else on its way in.
