Real Madrid have seen an upturn in form in recent weeks, albeit despite some lingering doubts, and there are those who will tell you that it is no coincidence that Brahim Diaz is playing more often. The former Manchester City and AC Milan playmaker missed six weeks due to injury, but has now been involved in 11 games in a row.
Brahim scores an average of a goal every 163 minutes and has only one goal less than competition Rodrygo Goes (5), but has played 699 fewer minutes. Relevo says Real Madrid's dressing rooms consider him essential, and that his creativity and intensity with and without the ball are crucial.
His value goes far beyond his contributions on the field. Los Blancos and Carlo Ancelotti highly value his role in the dressing room and consider him gold in terms of team chemistry. Brahim spends some of his free time with Jude Bellingham and took Kylian Mbappe out for dinner upon arrival. He has also organized barbecues with Arda Guler and has a deep bond with Fede Valverde. He also often jokes with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and now Endrick Felipe.
Last season, Ancelotti commented that Real Madrid's dressing room was the healthiest he had ever coached, and during their struggles he was asked if that was still the case. The Italian insisted that the atmosphere was healthy, but it is clear that with characters like Brahim it is important to keep it that way, who was injured at the time. Dani Carvajal's injury and Toni Kroos' retirement are also palpable.
