Often used as a substitute at Real Madrid, where he has started just four matches this season, Brahim Díaz is enjoying a remarkable resurgence on the international stage with Morocco.

Featuring for the Atlas Lions in their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against Cameroon, the right winger once again delivered when it mattered most.

Díaz found the net after a perfectly weighted assist from fellow in-form forward Ayoub El Kaabi, scoring his fifth goal in five matches at the tournament.

The Málaga-born attacker has now tormented a growing list of opponents at AFCON 2025, with goals against Comoros, Mali, Zambia, Tanzania and Cameroon, underlining his consistency and killer instinct.

With that latest strike, Díaz has moved clear as the outright top scorer of AFCON 2025, capping an outstanding individual campaign and reinforcing his importance to Morocco’s title ambitions.

From limited minutes in club football to leading the scoring charts on the continent’s biggest stage, Díaz’s transformation has been nothing short of impressive.
