Any news from Brahim Diaz? They’re pretty good. A little over three weeks ago now, the Real Madrid attacking midfielder was the unfortunate hero of the African Cup of Nations final where, with his missed panenka, he missed the opportunity to offer the title to Morocco at the expense of Senegal.

Since then, everything has been a little better for Brahim Diaz. With his club, even if there was the strange episode of Kylian MbappĂ©’s panenka (a fairly controversial form of support), the former Manchester City player has a string of interesting performances.

AS notes that Brahim Diaz has “gradually turned the page on the final of the African Cup of Nations”, showing himself as “a key player in the last two victories” of Real Madrid.

Brahim Diaz returned stronger?

Against Rayo Vallecano (2-1), he came on at the start of the match after Jude Bellingham’s injury, and Brahim Diaz was credited with an assist on Vinicius Jr’s gem (15th). In Valencia (0-2) on Sunday evening, the Moroccan international was still a substitute. This time he entered on the left (while he prefers to play on the right flank of the attack), which did not prevent him from offering a caviar to MbappĂ© for the break goal (90th).

AS verdict on Brahim Diaz?
“ Those close to him claimed that it would make him psychologically stronger, and time has proven them right.observes the Madrid daily. Hopefully it lasts!
