'I am not PSG's savior', stresses Di Maria

Amid criticism for a number of inconsistent displays, Angel di Maria insists he cannot single-handedly lead Paris Saint-Germain to glory.

Angel di Maria has hit back at his critics, stressing he is not Paris Saint-Germain's "savior" in their bid to win the Champions League.

Seen as the final piece of the puzzle in PSG's quest for European glory, Di Maria has been criticized for his lack of consistency after swapping Manchester United for the French champion in a deal worth 44 million pounds.

The French media has been quick to heap pressure on Di Maria, especially after he was substituted during his reunion with former club Real Madrid over a week ago, but the Argentina international silenced his critics, albeit momentarily, by scoring the winner in PSG's 1-0 Ligue 1 win at Rennes on Friday.
