The numbers
Brahim Díaz is having a remarkable season in a Morocco shirt. Across 12 appearances for the national team this season, the 26-year-old has scored 12 goals — a return that underlines why the number 10 jersey sits on his back.
The bulk of that output has come in competitive football. In AFCON qualification, Díaz contributed 7 goals from just 4 appearances — a stunning rate for a player operating primarily as a midfielder. He carried that form into the Africa Cup of Nations itself, adding 5 goals in 7 appearances during the tournament. A single friendly appearance this season rounds out his international record.
Club form at Real Madrid
At club level, Díaz has been a consistent contributor rather than a headline act. Over 50 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions this season, he has registered 2 goals and 8 assists. In La Liga — his busiest competition with 30 appearances — he has chipped in 1 goal and 6 assists. The UEFA Champions League brought 12 appearances, yielding 1 goal and 1 assist, while 6 outings in the Club World Cup produced 1 further assist.
The contrast between his club and international numbers is striking: where his Real Madrid role appears to be one of a reliable contributor in a deep squad, for Morocco he has been the main event — combining creative output with a finishing streak that any striker would be proud of.
Born in Málaga and standing 171 cm tall, Díaz represents one of the more compelling stories in Morocco's current cycle as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
