A questionable achievement... Brahim Díaz's reaction to Morocco's AFCON 2025 victory after Senegal's disqualification goes viral
Two victories for Díaz in a single evening.
Details: A video has gone viral on social media platform X, clearly showing the reaction of 26-year-old Real Madrid winger Brahim Díaz after he found out that Morocco was awarded the AFCON title following Senegal's technical defeat in the tournament final.

The video captures Díaz’s raw and genuine emotions. He had already become one of the main antiheroes of the match after missing a penalty in the dying moments.
On social media, fans wasted no time criticizing Díaz, claiming Morocco’s triumph was undeserved and insisting that Díaz was the last person who should be celebrating such a decision after his failed Panenka penalty in the decisive moment.
Nevertheless, the fact remains: alongside Real Madrid’s victory over Manchester City and a ticket to the next round, Díaz also secured another, no less significant, win that evening.
