Angel Di Maria has revealed that he was surprised to see the talent of team mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic since his arrival at Ligue 1 champion club Paris Saint-Germain.
"I have played with Leo (Lionel Messi), Cristiano (Ronaldo), (Wayne) Rooney, and now, I have the chance to play with Ibra. I'd never realized how good he is, all the moves he has, despite him being so tall. I was very surprised, honestly, from the day I arrived," Di Maria was quoted, as saying by goal.com.
The Argentine international also expressed the hope to see his partnership with Ibrahimovic gell well and said that Sweden has a lot of quality to contribute to his side.

Meanwhile, Di Maria also opened his PSG account as he registered his first domestic goal for his team.
With the win, PSG are now four points clear at the top of the table after seven games.
