Brahim Díaz is set to return to Real Madrid as a revitalized player after a stellar performance at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Moroccan forward has lit up the tournament, leading his team to the final with unmatched scoring prowess.

Diaz, who had a marginal role at Real Madrid under former coach Xabi Alonso, has become Morocco's talisman, scoring in all but one of Morocco's matches. His transformation has been lauded by Morocco coach Walid Regragui, who noted his player's newfound mentality and team spirit.

As Díaz eyes the final against Senegal, he holds the potential to match or surpass the legendary Ahmed Faras's scoring record at the Africa Cup. His success in the tournament could redefine his position at Real Madrid, now under the guidance of Álvaro Arbeloa.
