In the absence of maestro Jude Bellingham, Brahim Díaz had his chance to shine in the Real Madrid attack. So when he went for his goal, it was almost natural that he opened his arms wide, a tribute to the Englishman’s signature celebration.
Especially since the beauty of the goal amply justified this conquering celebration. We play the 49th minute of this round of 16 first leg of the Champions League between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig, at the Red Bull Arena, and the Merengues suffered the domination of the Germans during the first act.
While the second leaves at an equally intense pace, Diaz inherits a good ball on the right side and defends it against Raum, then launches into a solo rush which takes him to the center of the field, at the entrance to the surface. His gallop, which gave him the air of Lionel Messi or Arjen Robben, great specialists of the genre, is followed by a curling shot which almost logically ends its course in Gulacsi’s top corner.
The Malaga native, trained at Manchester City, joined Real Madrid in 2019 but was loaned for three seasons to AC Milan, between 2020 and 2023, where he performed well enough to earn the right to return to the prestigious White House , this summer. From now on, he proves with Real on the biggest stages.
Unfortunately for him, injured in the right calf, he had to leave the field in the 83rd minute.
