Real Madrid star is now considered Carlo Ancelotti’s ’12th man’ | OneFootball

An insight into the growing prominence of Brahim Díaz in the first-team ranks at Real Madrid has on Monday been provided.

This comes amid confirmation that the Moroccan is now considered all but a starter by Carlo Ancelotti and his staff.

Brahim, of course, has continued to play an important role for Real Madrid across the season to date.

All told, across all competitions, the former AC Milan man has racked up 37 appearances, chipping in with six goals and seven assists along the way.

When a fully fit squad is available to Carlo Ancelotti, Brahim is nevertheless considered a backup, owing to the fierce competition for places in the attacking third.

But as alluded to above, the 25-year-old has never been closer to establishing himself as a starter in Los Blancos’ squad.

As per a report from Marca:

‘The Malaga native has become the twelfth player of the current Real Madrid. He is considered at this time as another starter for Carlo Ancelotti.’
