Moroccan forward, Brahim Diaz, played a key role in Real Madrid’s triumph on Wednesday night as the Spanish giants secured the inaugural Intercontinental Cup by defeating Pachuca 3-0 in the final at the Lusail Stadium in Doha.

Diaz entered the match in the 62nd minute, replacing Kylian Mbappé, and contributed to the team’s dominant performance.

Despite coming off the bench, the Moroccan international displayed his technical skills and helped his side maintain their control over the match.

Real Madrid showcased their superiority throughout the game, leaving Pachuca with no chance to recover. Goals from Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, and a penalty converted by Vinícius Jr. sealed a convincing victory for the Merengues.

Diaz’s versatility and intelligence on the pitch continue to earn him the trust of head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has been impressed with the player’s integration into the team.

This Intercontinental Cup victory is Real Madrid’s second title of the season, following their UEFA Super Cup win. For head coach Carlo Ancelotti, the triumph solidifies his legacy as the most decorated manager in the club’s history, with a remarkable 15 trophies to his name.

Brahim Diaz, meanwhile, adds another prestigious accomplishment to his growing list of career achievements.
