Real Madrid Players Who Are Going to Celebrate Andalusia Day

This important national holiday is known beyond our borders

Real Madrid Secures an Important Victory, Albeit by the Minimum, from Their Visit to Reale Arena. Carlo Ancelotti's pupils ended the match with a concerning piece of news: the serious injury of Dani Ceballos. The Sevillian '19', according to the latest medical report, would be out for two months.

Within that timeframe, his ailment would leave him out of the most important matches of the current season, including hypothetical Champions League quarterfinals and semifinals. This is not good news for a footballer who had once again overcome ostracism and had become a key and untouchable starter for the Reggiolo coach.

Moreover, the injury comes in the days leading up to a very significant festivity for the Real Madrid midfielder: Andalusia Day. This festivity of the Autonomous Community, scheduled for February 28, is quite an event in the southern Spanish territory. Due to his injury, Dani Ceballos may miss the training sessions in preparation for the visit to Benito Villamarín.

Not so the other Andalusian player in Real Madrid's first team: Brahim Díaz. The Madridist '21' is the focus of some controversy for some time due to his Moroccan nationality. Despite that condition, the footballer can feel fully Andalusian since he was born in Málaga.

Pure Sentiment

It was in the blue team, like other national stars such as Isco, where he began his career. The Manchester City scouts quickly focused their attention on him, and he left the Málaga academy heading to the sky blue entity. Pep Guardiola, despite his talent, didn't bet much on him, and Real Madrid secured his transfer in 2020.

But the footballer also couldn't find his place back then and left on a fruitful three-year loan to AC Milan. Properly forged in the fires of European football elite, the Moroccan '21' has returned to Santiago Bernabéu locker room and has dazzled Madridism with his quality. His current nationality, despite being born in our country, is a really complicated issue.

Because he decided to accept Morocco's call, which promised him an absolute leadership role, tired of waiting for a draft from the Spanish national team that would never effectively come. The rejections from Luis Enrique and Luis de la Fuente to count on the white striker led to this resolution of the 'case'... although Brahim Díaz is no less Andalusian than the others.

Andalusia Day is approaching. Both Dani Ceballos and Brahim Díaz eagerly await this significant festivity on the calendar. Be that as it may, the Moroccan '21' will be with his teammates to prepare for the match against Real Betis this Saturday, hoping that the '19' recovers from his injury.
