Real Madrid game-changer speaks after essential display vs Atletico Madrid - 'It is still open'
Brahim Diaz was one of the match's standouts, scoring Real Madrid's second and winning goal against Atletico Madrid.
Speaking after the game, he acknowledged the unique emotion of scoring in such an important contest. While he was delighted with his contribution, he remained focused on the big picture, knowing that the work was not yet complete.
"A goal here is always fantastic since wearing this shirt requires you to give it your all.
"We played an entire game. My aim is enough, but we must give it our best on the return leg," he continued.
Real Madrid's confidence took a momentary fall after Atletico's equaliser, but they regained it in the second half and pushed for victory.
Brahim understood that in high-stakes matchups like this, any player might change the game at any time, and Real Madrid once again shown their capacity to rise to the pressure.
"We were behind at halftime, but everything turned around in the second half. One of us can make a mistake at any time, as history has shown. Another memorable night at the Bernabeu."
Despite their victory, Brahim and his teammates aren't getting carried away. He advised prudence ahead of the return leg at the Metropolitano, reminding everyone that the tie is far from finished.
While a home victory was vital, Real Madrid is mindful that Atletico will be a difficult opponent on their home field.
Brahim made it clear that full concentration will be required in the second leg, as every detail could mean the difference in the Champions League.
"Everything is still open; it's fantastic to win at home, but we'll face a difficult encounter there.
"This is not finished; the return leg is still ahead of us, and we must give it our all. This is the Champions League, and every little thing matters."
