To be fair, they are probably using his usual record as a benchmark

Robben is better than everyone bar Messi and Penaldo.
Is that you, Bert van Marwijk?

No that's somebody who has seen him carry Netherlands to WC and Euro semi/final and did the same with Bayern in 2010 carrying them to CL final. Ibra goes missing vs any good team every time in his career and Suarez is unproven against the elite. Bale and Neymar please not even worth discussing them.

He's off next season if Utd don't qualify for CL.

4th best player in the world in general.
So far this season he is the 3rd best in the PL behind Costa and Fabregas.

This is definitely on par with the time someome told me Richard Tambling would be an AFL Brownlow medallist. There's so much evidence of the contrary.

Yeah I missed a few. Robben, possibly Fabregas, possibly Toure at there best can all be better than Di Maria at his best

Yeah, except it's not really.
We are talking about a player who is easily top 10 in the world on form, arguably even top 5 FFS. Did the OP get carried away here? Absolutely, but to mention those two players in the same sentence is getting just as carried away, even more so perhaps.

He's a class below Suarez, Ibra & Bale

... All that says to me is that Di Maria is not the #1 player in the world which is still the point. So either I need to replace 'on par with' with 'reminds me of' or you need to understand what you've written here.
An overzealous overestimation of a player in a club that you support. The parallel is there for me. That is all.
Did he actually win it? I thought he was fairly average in that match and stuffed up a load of chances. Di Maria was on fire though.
No idea, could have been either.
Di Maria was the deserved MOTM in the CL final.
I thought Marcelo and Di Maria were the clear standouts for the final. Di Maria was imperious
Eh call me when he's scored as many EPL goals as Andy Carroll.

Messi has scored 0 EPL goals. What a s**t player.

Not really sure why it was started in the first place but we're done with this one.
