CAN 2025: Brahim Díaz breathes a huge sigh of relief

The lost final against Senegal left a deep mark. At the Moulay-Abdallah Stadium, Brahim Díaz watched his continental dream slip away on a daring attempt that became a symbol of heartbreak. Despite a high-level tournament and clinching the top scorer title, the Real Madrid striker appeared devastated, alone in the moment.

In a country where football transcends sport, the player’s anguish was not confined to the locker room. The shockwave reached the highest institutions, where emotion replaced criticism. In Rabat, the conversation shifted from analyzing a single moment to protecting a national symbol.
