Madrid Stars Rally Behind Morocco's Diaz Ahead of AFCON Final

Real Madrid teammates rally behind Ibrahim Diaz ahead of AFCON final

Real Madrid players released a supportive message for their Moroccan teammate Ibrahim Diaz, who is set to play in the Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday against Senegal.

Morocco eyes the AFCON title for the second time in history, having lifted it in 1976.

Diaz has shone for the Atlas Lions during the tournament, currently topping the scoring chart with five goals.

In a video message, Madrid teammates backed Diaz before the highly anticipated final.

Jude Bellingham said, "Good luck, my friend... we're all rooting for you, and all the best."

Raúl Asensio added, "Bring the cup, Ibrahim... we're here with open arms."

A clip of the players' message was shared amid the buildup to the final.

A short poll asks whether Mohamed Salah can bring AFCON to Egypt.

Punchline 1: If the trophy refuses to leave the cabinet, tell it you’re on loan from the club.

Punchline 2: And if Diaz scores the winner, the trophy might stay a little longer—Madrid already has a spare shelf in the squad’s memories.
