Carlo Ancelotti praised Brahim Diaz’s performance despite losing 2-0 to Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday night on Matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage.
“Brahim had a good performance and helped the team a lot. Ardà Güler also defended well, but he could have shown more precision, because he has great quality. He’s a young player who still lacks experience.”declared the Merengues coach.
Starting this match, Brahim Diaz almost scored against Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, but like the rest of the Madrid attackers, he was unable to capitalize on his opportunities.
Brahim Diaz seems to be more impressive with the Atlas Lions. During the recent international break, he scored two goals against Gabon, in his first away match with Morocco, before scoring a hat-trick against Lesotho on the final day of qualifying for CAN 2025.
Since his debut with the Moroccan national team, Brahim Diaz has played 8 matches and scored 7 goals. With Real Madrid this season, he took part in 9 matches in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing two assists. Diaz is under contract with the Merengues until the summer of 2027.
The Moroccan striker is already turning heads in England, notably with Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal.
According to the Transfermarkt website, Brahim Diaz is valued at 40 million euros, a sum which should not deter his English suitors. In addition, the player already has experience in the Premier League, having played for Manchester City.
