Benfica star Angel Di Maria says they’ll have to get past one of the best goalkeepers in Europe if they want to beat Rangers.

The legendary Argentine winger is refusing to under-estimate Philippe Clement’s side ahead of their Europa League last 16 clash.

And Di Maria hailed Ibrox keeper Jack Butland as one of their key men for Thursday night’s first leg in Lisbon. The 36-year-old insists the Portuguese league leaders need to get past the Englishman at home to give them a chance of progressing in Glasgow a week later.

Di Maria said: “Rangers wasn’t the best opponent for us in this draw but at this stage, every rival is complicated. We have the first match at home so we’ll need maximum concentration to get a good result.
