Brahim Diaz has become one of the great figures and standard bearers of the Morocco national team, which for some time now has established itself as one of the most powerful on the African continent with brilliant performances such as the one at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
The great moment of the Moroccan No.10 has not gone unnoticed by his teammates both in the national team and at Real Madrid. After another decisive performance with the Moroccan national team in the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, he received a wave of support and recognition, which is proof of the great moment he is going through.
Real Madrid players praise Brahim Diaz
Brahim’s performance was not only celebrated in Morocco. From Europe, several figures from Real Madrid took to social media to congratulate him.
Kylian Mbappe commented on the celebration post with a clear motivational message: “don’t stop“. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham summed up the striker’s moment with a single word: “Magician“, accompanied by a magic wand emoji, alluding to the player’s quality and creativity.
Also, Alvaro Carreras reacted with fire emojis, highlighting the great form that Brahim Diaz is currently in. They were joined by national team-mates such as Achraf Hakimi, who wrote “for more“, reflecting the ambition of the group in the tournament.
Brahim Diaz guides Morocco to the quarter-finals
Morocco achieved a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Tanzania, a result that allowed them to advance to the quarter-finals of AFCON 2025. The only goal of the match came in the 64th minute and had a Real Madrid seal: Brahim Diaz appeared at the right moment to break the deadlock and unleash the celebrations in Rabat.
The home team dominated much of the match, but came up against a well-organised and combative Tanzanian defence. It was not until the second half that Diaz took advantage of a move started by Achraf Hakimi to finish with precision and give the Atlas Lions peace of mind.
Brahim Diaz achieves historic record with Morocco
With this goal, Brahim Diaz became the first player in Morocco’s history to score four goals in a single African Cup of Nations campaign, consolidating himself as the team’s star player.
Goal with a special dedication
Although the victory left positive feelings, not all the news was good for the home team. Midfielder Azzedine Ounahi was ruled out for the rest of the tournament with a calf injury, a major blow for coach Walid Regragui.
Even so, Morocco’s aspirations remain intact. With Brahim Diaz as the offensive leader, the team will face Cameroon next Friday in January in search of a place in the semifinals.
