Paris Saint-Germain boast one of the deadliest attacking tridents in world football. The 'MCN' of Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar has gained all the plaudits this season for the Ligue 1 leaders, but there is a fourth player, one who goes under the radar yet out of them all, has the best statistics and will no doubt be pivotal against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
From 2,117 minutes and 32 appearances in all competitions, Di Maria has scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists - phenomenal numbers which would be celebrated in almost any other club bar PSG.
Against the backdrop of Mbappe, Cavani and Neymar though, the 30-year-old gets pushed aside but with his Brazilian team-mate suffering a serious ankle injury, he now has his time to shine.
The Parisian club have a mammoth task on Tuesday, as they try to overturn a 3-1 deficit to their Champions League opposition Madrid at the Parc des Princes to secure their progression to the quarter-finals.
What better player to help them achieve that feat than the man who made 124 appearances during a four-year spell at the club, one who knows some of the opposing players like the back of the hand, one who will dare to dream when faced with such a brilliant opportunity.
It won't be easy, but given that Di Maria did not play a single minute in the first leg at the Bernabeu, he will be rearing to prove all his doubters wrong. Watch out Madrid...
