Neymar's replacement for Paris Saint-Germain's Coupe de France clash with Olympique Marseille, opened the scoring before making it two in the second half. Di Maria is in fine form.

Moments before half-time, Angel Di Maria broke the deadlock. A goal to mentally down Marseille and show he is always ready when called upon.

His right-footed shot took a slight deflection before flying into the bottom left corner, beating Mandanda's stretch.

 

Di Maria wheeled away with his typical heart celebration and pointing to his chest as to say: "I'm here". He is set to start against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

After the break, Di Maria tucked home a cross Cavani failed to get on the end of. His second goal, with his less-favoured right foot.
