Brahim Díaz opens up after missing crucial penalty in the Africa Cup | OneFootball

Brahim Díaz spoke out on his social media on Monday afternoon. The forward missed a penalty in the last minute of the Africa Cup of Nations final last Sunday, and saw Morocco lose to Senegal in extra time.

“My soul is hurting. I dreamed of this title because of all the love you gave me, for every message, for every show of support that made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I fought with everything I had, with my heart first,” he said.

Morocco’s number 10 did not hide his frustration and responsibility for the incident. “I failed yesterday, I take full responsibility and I apologize from the bottom of my heart,” he wrote.

The national team’s last title in the competition was 50 years ago, in 1976. Brahim spoke about the pain and the moment of overcoming.

“It’s going to be hard for me to get up, because this wound doesn’t heal easily, but I’ll try. Not for me, but for everyone who believed in me, and for everyone who suffered with me,” he said.

“I will keep moving forward until one day I can give back all this love to you and be proud of my Moroccan people. Always Morocco,” he concluded.
