Real Madrid are very happy with how Brahim Diaz has bounced back after a bittersweet Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Morocco.
The playmaker returned from AFCON as the tournament’s top scorer, but the joy quickly turned into heartbreak when he missed a last-minute penalty in the final, costing his country a historic first title in 50 years.
Instead of letting that moment define him, Brahim has responded with character and quality in Madrid. Since coming back to Spain, he has found his rhythm again, scoring in two consecutive games and proving he can be decisive in the final third. Against Rayo Vallecano, he won a late penalty that secured a 2-1 win for Los Blancos, underlining his courage to keep taking responsibility in big moments.
He followed that up with another strong performance versus Valencia, where he set up a goal for Kylian Mbappe and kept Madrid’s attack ticking.
According to reports from AS, the club admire how he has overcome adversity and see his renewed form as a major boost for the rest of the season.
