Real Madrid: Is Brahim Diaz ready to overtake Franco Mastantuono? | OneFootball

Starting against Juventus in the Champions League, Brahim Díaz seized his opportunity last Wednesday. The Moroccan is on the verge of moving ahead of Franco Mastantuono in the eyes of Xabi Alonso.

Last Wednesday, Brahim Diaz delivered a brilliant performance in the Champions League against Juventus, reminding everyone why Carlo Ancelotti brought him back from AC Milan. His display especially rekindled a strong conviction for Xabi Alonso. In this Real Madrid squad, where Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler already pull the strings, Brahim is reigniting the debate with another rising star in the squad, Franco Mastantuono. In recent weeks, the young Argentine's performances have not been particularly convincing.

Against Juve, he played only a few minutes. Just two days before the big showdown, a clear message was sent between the lines: Brahim made a strong statement, and Mastantuono, despite his potential, could be on the verge of losing a major battle.
