The Madrid derby is always intense. Yesterday's match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League was no exception. One of the heroes of the match was Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz.
Simeone's words and Brahim's response
Before the match, Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone expressed his thoughts on the match, saying that he doubted Brahim Diaz would start.
"I think they (Real Madrid) will play Modric with Chuamen and Camavinga to replace Bellingham. I'm not sure if Brahim will be played," Simeone said.
However, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed confidence in the player and Diaz entered the starting lineup. He fully justified his coach's trust.
The winning goal and a strong response
Brahim scored a crucial goal in the match. After scoring the goal for Atletico, he turned to Simeone and shouted: “Speak up! Speak up!” - this gesture, of course, did not go unnoticed by football fans and quickly became a topic of discussion on social networks. Many perceived this as the player's response to Simeone's criticism.
Diaz is finding his place in Real Madrid
Brahim Diaz had not been able to become a regular in the Madrid team for a long time. However, this season he managed to show his skills. Especially in the position left vacant by Bellingham's injury.
This Madrid derby match was not only an important victory for Diaz, but also a personal testament. Now, there is no doubt that coaches and opponents will pay even more attention to him.
Simeone did not comment on the situation after the match, but Atletico Madrid posted a tribute to the player on their page, acknowledging his goal.
The Madrid derby gave football fans another heated scene. Diaz's fierce response will surely be remembered for a long time. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
