4) Scintillating performance against Levante, 22nd December 2010
Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo were the heroes, both grabbing a hat-trick a piece. But it was the Argentine talisman who stole the spotlight as he assisted 3 goals and put on a marvelous display of his dribbling skills and vision.
In an emphatic victory against Levante, Madrid showed its dominance by scoring 8 goals and maintained a clean-sheet as well. Di Maria was constantly threatening Levante’s defence with his pace down the right-flank.
He went close to scoring a goal, but was saved by the keeper. However, that didn’t keep him down as the winger set up 3 goals for both Ronaldo and Benzema combined as they both got their hat-tricks. A remarkable display by the young Argentine.
