Madrid Stands Behind Diaz as AFCON Final Looms

Real Madrid backs Diaz ahead of AFCON final

Real Madrid publicly shows support for Moroccan star Brahim Diaz just hours before the Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal.

The club posted a photo of Diaz wearing Morocco's jersey on its official X account, adding the Atlas Lions and Lions of Teranga flags and noting the match time in Spain on Sunday evening.

The post also tagged Diaz's official account and included a symbol that suggested royal support and strength.

Diaz has already written a memorable chapter with the Atlas Lions, steering them to the final for the first time in 22 years.

He sits atop the AFCON scoring charts with five goals in five matches across the tournament.

Diaz began his scoring run in the opener against Comoros (2-0), then added a penalty in the Atlas Lions' 1-1 draw with Mali, followed by another finish against Zambia (3-0) to cap the group stage.

In the quarterfinals, the Real Madrid star was the decisive figure, scoring the lone goal as Morocco edged Tanzania 1-0, then continued his goal run in the semifinal against Cameroon.

The article also features a brief poll asking whether Mohamed Salah can bring AFCON glory to Egypt, with simple Yes/No options.

Punchline 1: Diaz scores so often the net has started charging rent.

Punchline 2: If Diaz keeps scoring, even my Wi‑Fi will start buffering the celebrations.
