Angel Di Maria – Argentina

The winger had a spellbinding season for Real Madrid and showed why the club were right to offload Mesut Ozil and keep him.

A vital player in the crunch games, Di Maria has stepped up his game this season and now provides the consistency as opposed to his previous flashes of brilliance.

He could well be one of the players of the tournament and overshadow bigger names such as Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi.
