Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz, who recently earned his Moroccan international cap, stands on the brink of making his debut in a La Liga Clasico clash this Sunday.
Despite being part of Real Madrid since 2019, Brahim Diaz has yet to grace the field during a Clasico encounter in La Liga
. The midfielder, who joined the club from Manchester City, has had a journey filled with success, winning the 2019/20 La Liga title and the 2020 Spanish Super Cup with the Whites before embarking on a loan spell at AC Milan for three seasons.
Upon his return to Real Madrid last summer, Diaz signed a contract extension until 2027, solidifying his place in the first team.
Since then, he has been diligently working to earn the trust of manager Carlo Ancelotti. However, one experience still eludes him – that of participating in a Clasico showdown against arch-rivals FC Barcelona.
The upcoming fixture on Sunday, April 21, presents a potential opportunity for Diaz to realize this dream. Real Madrid is set to host FC Barcelona for the 32nd matchday of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu.
With key players Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo potentially fatigued, the stage could be set for the young Moroccan forward to make his mark.
Diaz’s recent cameo appearance against Manchester City in the Champions League, where he entered the game in the 83rd minute, showcased his capability to contribute in crucial moments
. As Real Madrid currently leads the La Liga standings and aims to secure the championship title by the end of the season, Diaz’s inclusion in the Clasico lineup adds an intriguing dimension to the highly anticipated encounter.
As fans eagerly await the outcome of Sunday’s clash, Diaz stands on the verge of a milestone moment in his career, potentially making his debut in one of football’s most iconic fixtures – the Clasico.
