Criticized in recent months for his performances, Brahim Diaz delivered a strong response in the opening match of AFCON 2025.
Playing at home with Morocco, the Real Madrid forward embraced the pressure of his first major test with the Atlas Lions and quickly imposed himself as a key figure in attack.
After choosing Morocco over Spain in March 2024, Brahim Diaz entered the tournament as the main offensive reference in a squad without Hakim Ziyech or Sofiane Boufal. Despite finishing as top scorer in the AFCON qualifiers, doubts persisted among supporters. Against Comoros, he constantly demanded the ball, created danger, and won an early penalty, showing clear leadership.
His determination paid off in the second half when he finished a precise cross from Noussair Mazraoui to score a liberating goal. Applauded by the crowd as he left the pitch and named man of the match, Brahim Diaz turned criticism into recognition and set a strong tone for Morocco’s AFCON campaign.

lol see how dumb people are.. sitting on the bench now does not mean you will always sit there.. and 31 appearances in the last 2 seasons and 12 so far.. are still a decent amount
How Many Times Of That 31 Did He Start? & To Even Call That A Decent Amount Makes You Even More Stup*d Than I Thought Cos Diaz Himself Thinks Otherwise, As He Has Said Many Times That He Wants To Play More 🤦♂️ If You Actually Think As A Player, He’s Happy With This So Called "Decent" Game Time, Then You Are Mad 🤧🤮

First Of All You Are The Only Dumb One Here Cos Yes Players Actually Do Sit On The Sidelines Their Whole Career. Secondly You Need To Play Fluently In Your Club Side To Get A National Call Up Which Was The Whole Debate & Has Nothing To Do About Ballon D’Or (Which You’ll Even Have To Play More Games To Even Win That Too, Not Being On The Bench). Lastly Number Of Total App Don’t Mean Sh*t When You’re Coming On As A Substitute Most Of The Time In The 80 Mins Jon 🤧. He’s Started Just 3 Games & You Want That To Get Him A Call Up In The Spanish National Team? 🤣🤣 You Are A Very Big F**l 🤧🤮
