Brahim Diaz got a rare start for Real Madrid, as the forward got a nod against Braga.

The 24-year-old indeed put in a top performance, and got a goal in the 3-0 victory.

Carlo Ancelotti seemed to have been impressed by the performance of the young winger.

The Real Madrid boss admitted after the game that he was pleased with Diaz’s performance, and that Diaz deserved to start more games.

“Brahim Diaz has done very well: he scored a goal, and had another disallowed, he has done an optimal defensive job too,” Carlo Ancelotti said after the Braga game.

“What else is there to say? Nothing, he deserves to play a little more.

“Everyone contributes; I have to take a good look at all of them. They are very serious and Brahim is very professional. He deserves to play more, honestly.”
