De María spoke about the threat that he received in Rosario. “I think that if there is anyone who does not deserve not to have the possibility of returning to our country, it is him,” she said.
De María dedicated a story to her brother on Instagram, along with two hearts, one light blue and one white, and an emoji of a smiley face. She also thanked him for his support during the match against Costa Rica, in which they won 3-1.
