About Brahim Díaz

Brahim Abdelkader Díaz (born 3 August 1999), also known mononymously as Brahim, is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for La Liga club Real Madrid. Born in Spain, he plays for the Morocco national team. A versatile playmaker, he is known for his direct attacking style, explosiveness, and ambidextrous dribbling. Brahim began his club career at his hometown club Málaga, before moving to Manchester City. He had started to break through into the first team when he was signed by Real Madrid in 2019. After three successful seasons on loan at AC Milan where he was part of the Serie A winning team of 2021-22, Brahim returned to Real Madrid in 2023 where he became a consistent first team regular, winning the La Liga and the Champions League in his first full season. Brahim initially represented Spain at junior level, before making his senior debut against Lithuania in 2021 where he also scored. Following this Brahim decided to change his representative nationality to Morocco. He earned his first Morocco call-up in 2024 and featured in the squad that went on to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where he became the first player in the tournament's history to score five goals in consecutive matches. At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he became Africa's all-time leading player with assists in FIFA World Cup history. On 21 September 2016, Díaz made his first-team debut for City, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute to replace Kelechi Iheanacho in an EFL Cup tie against Swansea City. On 19 December 2017, Brahim made his first club start, playing for 88 minutes against Leicester City in the League Cup. Later that season, Brahim would score his first career goal for City, netting both times in a 2–0 win over Fulham on 1 November.
