Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz has expressed joy after scoring the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Tuesday night.
The Morocco international found the net in the second half, securing a crucial win for his team at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Diaz highlighted the significance of playing at the iconic stadium, describing it as a unique experience.
“Playing here at the Santiago Bernabéu is an incredible and unique experience. When you wear this shirt, you have to give everything and I think we produced a complete performance today.
“The goal was good and it helped us to win, but there’s still the second leg and we have to give everything all the same.
“We were always balanced, although they equalised and we got a bit discouraged. We started the second half well. We can cause problems at any moment. This is Real Madrid, the best club in the world, and the magical nights at the Bernabéu.”
Real Madrid will now prepare for the return leg at Atletico’s Metropolitano Stadium, where they will aim to secure their place in the quarter-finals.
