Di Maria sets sights on Champions League conquest with PSG

Angel Di Maria believes Paris Saint-Germain must set their sights on both domestic and European glory this season after making an impressive debut for the Ligue 1 champions.

The Argentina international came on in the second half of PSG's emphatic 3-0 win over Monaco on Sunday and set up Ezequiel Lavezzi's goal with a sumptuous long pass.

Having put his disastrous year with Manchester United behind him, Di Maria is now looking to help PSG challenge for the Champions League as well as another clean sweep of trophies in France.

"I'm very happy, we won a very difficult match," he told Canal Plus. "Last year, PSG had a great season. We'll try to do the same this season and have a good showing in the Champions League.

"With work and a bit of luck, we can get there. I'm happy for my assist and for Pocho's [Lavezzi's] goal."

Edinson Cavani scored two fine goals earlier in the second half to set Laurent Blanc's side on their way to three points and the Uruguay star hopes to see their form continue.

"The team played a great match. There are a lot of games left, we'll do everything to continue in this way," Cavani said.

"In the first half, we failed to take advantage of the chances. Personally, I didn't have much success.

"The second half was much better, I was set up beautifully twice."
