The Portuguese powerhouse has had a significant impact on the Argentine forward, increasing his attacking efficiency.

In recent years, Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has been one of the most prolific strikers in world football. However, he struggled to find a consistent partner up front who could unlock defences and create goals for him. This is where Benfica striker Di Maria comes into play.

Di Maria was signed by Manchester City from Real Madrid in the summer of 2014, but struggled to establish himself as a regular starter due to injuries and competition from other forwards. He eventually left the club in January 2016 after just one season with them, joining Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in France.

At PSG, Di Maria continued to struggle to break into the team and was loaned out to Benfica in the summer of 2017. The move was a success for both parties, as Di Maria quickly established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe.

During his time at Benfica,Bundesliga Tracking Di Maria played a crucial role in helping the team win their first league title since 1998. He scored 15 goals in 32 appearances during the 2017-18 campaign, including a hat-trick against rivals Sporting Lisbon in December 2017. His attacking efficiency increased significantly under the guidance of coach Jorge Jesus, who was known for his tactical flexibility and ability to adapt to different playing styles.

Di Maria's performances at Benfica were so impressive that he was named the top scorer in Portugal's Primeira Liga in 2017-18. His goal-scoring prowess helped Benfica to finish second in the league table behind FC Porto, which ultimately led to them securing their first league title in 16 years.

However, despite his impressive form at Benfica, Di Maria struggled to replicate his success at Manchester City. He only managed to score six goals in 44 appearances for City before being sold to Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. Despite his departure from the Premier League, Di Maria remains one of the most talented strikers in world football, and his impact on Benfica's attacking efficiency cannot be underestimated.
