Brahim Diaz Shines in Real Madrid's Champions League Comeback
Brahim Diaz played a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie. The former City academy graduate equalised against his old club in the 86th minute, capitalising on a poor clearance by Ederson. Diaz calmly slotted home after Vinicius Jr’s shot was parried into his path, setting the stage for Jude Bellingham’s stoppage-time winner.
Diaz, who returned to Real Madrid in 2023 after a successful loan spell at AC Milan, has struggled for regular starting opportunities despite his evident quality. His performance against City highlighted his ability to deliver in crucial moments, further solidifying his reputation as a valuable squad player. However, his limited minutes have reportedly attracted interest from Liverpool, who are said to be prioritising a move for the versatile attacker this summer. Diaz’s contract with Real Madrid runs until 2027, and his market value is estimated at around €60 million.
The Moroccan’s late equaliser against City not only showcased his composure but also kept Real Madrid’s Champions League hopes alive, as they head into the second leg with a narrow advantage.
