Brutal Stat of Brahim Díaz That Forces Ancelotti to Put Him in the Starting XI

One of Carlo Ancelotti's most advanced men, beyond the usual starters, is Brahim Díaz. After his unfortunate and long injury, sustained during the game against Real Sociedad, the player has made a grand return to the Meringue discipline.

His performance in recent games, especially in December, implies that the Reggiolo coach has one of the most important 'game changers' back. Few now question his abilities, both as a first team player and coming off the bench. At Madrid, they couldn't be happier to have him.

That's why he would have rejected approaches from several elite European soccer clubs for the winter and summer markets of 2025. Brahim Díaz wants to continue succeeding at Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti is increasingly 'obliged' to consider him as a regular first team player. The statistics accumulated so far this season speak for themselves.

It's no wonder, since Brahim Díaz has caused a goal every 100 minutes during 2024. This impressive stat, which combines his appearances for Real Madrid and the Moroccan national team, of which he is the absolute leader, shows that he is an effective attacking player.

Fighting for a Spot

The stat provided by Brahim Díaz throughout all his matches in 2024 makes it clear that he averages almost a goal contribution per game. While it's true that this statistic makes much more sense with Morocco, considering he is an undisputed starter there... it's very surprising when focusing on the data obtained from Real Madrid.

Because Carlo Ancelotti doesn't regularly include him in the starting eleven. In fact, the technical staff led by the Italian strategist understands that Brahim himself could be a starter even at the white club. However, his spot on the field, the right wing, is already assigned to a Rodrygo Goes who has a lot of competition and skill to overcome it.

In any case, what Brahim Díaz has achieved during 2024 is an accomplishment that only elite European soccer starters have within reach. Knowing he doesn't have many opportunities as a starter, always coming off the bench, achieving that pace of goal contributions speaks to his quality.

From the Valdebebas offices, they have insisted on this: Brahim Díaz must continue at the club and see his prominence increase in the second half of the season. Carlo Ancelotti would have taken note of this disposition... and an ideal 2025 is approaching for the African '21' to prove himself once again.
