Moroccan international, Brahim Diaz, one of the most outstanding players in Real Madrid this season, is a strong candidate to win the African Ballon d’Or, highlighted the Spanish daily sports newspaper Marca on Wednesday.
The Moroccan star, who won the Champions League last Saturday with Spanish club Real Madrid, has a good chance of becoming the first Real Madrid player to win the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Ballon d’Or, reported the daily newspaper.
“The prize will be awarded at the end of the year, and the case for Diaz is pushed by his treble with Real Madrid (Spanish Supercup, La Liga and Champions League) and his debut with the Moroccan National Team”, the newspaper stated, recalling that the former Manchester City player will make his debut on Friday in an official match with the Moroccan team against Zambia for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
Brahim Diaz played in 45 matches for Real Madrid this season, with 12 goals and 9 assists, highlighted Marca , revealing that the biggest challenge for the 24-year-old forward is to qualify with Morocco to the 2026 World Cup and to win the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Morocco.
After a remarkable season with three titles, Brahim Diaz’s claim to a “historical” African Ballon d’Or is sufficiently backed, concluded the Spanish newspaper.
