Brahim Díaz has been one of the standout performers of the Africa Cup of Nations, delivering a series of eye-catching displays that have firmly put him back in the spotlight. Representing Morocco, the Real Madrid attacker has enjoyed a sensational group-stage campaign, contributing decisively and playing with confidence, flair, and end product.
In just four matches at AFCON, Díaz has scored four goals, underlining his growing maturity in the final third. Beyond the goals, his influence has been widespread, he has also won two penalties for Morocco, constantly troubling defenders with his movement, close control, and sharp decision-making. His performances have not gone unnoticed, as he has picked up two Man of the Match awards and earned a place in the Group Stage Best XI.
Díaz has looked liberated in Morocco’s setup, often drifting between the lines, combining quickly with teammates, and making intelligent late runs into the box. His energy and creativity have added a new dimension to Morocco’s attack, and he has quite literally been “dancing” through opposition defenses at the tournament.
