Moroccan star stays calm despite provocation in Portugal

(Video) Brahim Diaz targeted by Benfica supporter in viral clip

A Benfica supporter tried to provoke Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz by referencing his missed AFCON 2025 penalty during Champions League match in Portugal.

Viral moment caught on video

A video shared widely on social media has shown Benfica fan attempting to upset Brahim Diaz during Real Madrid’s visit to Portugal for their Champions League match on Wednesday.

The clip captured the supporter shouting at the Moroccan international while Diaz was warming up before the game.

The fan referred to him with the phrase:

A clear reminder of painful recent moment in his international career.

Diaz did not respond and continued his warm-up without reacting.

Real Madrid suffer setback against Benfica

The incident came on difficult night for Real Madrid who lost 4-2 to Benfica in the final round of Champions League league phase.

The defeat forced the Spanish giants into the play-off round for place in the last 16, rather than securing direct qualification.

It was disappointing end to the group stage for Carlo Ancelotti’s side who struggled to contain Benfica’s attacking pressure.

AFCON final miss still being mentioned

The fan’s taunt was linked to Diaz’s missed penalty in the AFCON 2025 final when Morocco faced Senegal in Rabat.

Morocco were awarded spot-kick in stoppage time and Diaz attempted Panenka-style penalty.

Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved the effort keeping the match level.

The final later went to extra time where Senegal scored the winning goal and lifted the trophy leaving Diaz’s missed chance as one of the key moments of the match.

Diaz remains a key figure

Despite that international disappointment, Diaz remains important player for both Real Madrid and Morocco.

His calm reaction to the Benfica fan’s comments was seen by many as sign of focus and professionalism.
