Brahim Diaz with his 8th goal for Real Madrid this season.

Diaz has performed well in Madrid after returning to the club from AC Milan.

Brahim Diaz is back at Real Madrid after several years on loan at AC Milan, where he has developed as a player and for several seasons was one of the key figures on the Italian powerhouse. Now he is back at Real Madrid, where he will try to secure a spot in a star-studded starting lineup, facing tough competition for positions. However, it seems that Ancelotti is ready to utilize Diaz, as he has been granted significant playing time. In yesterday's match, he started in the absence of Jude Bellingham, and he responded with a fantastic goal, securing a 1-0 victory for Madrid over RB Leipzig. In the chances Diaz has been given this season, he has seized the opportunity, as reflected in his personal stats.

Brahim Diaz in all competitions 2023/24: 
◉ 28 games 
◉ 8 goals 
◉ 3 assists 
◉ 149 minutes per goal 

Brahim Diaz in La Liga 2023/24: 
◉ 19 games
◉ 4 goals 
◉ 1 assist 
◉ 19 shots 
◉ 12 chances created 
◉ 749 minutes played

Brahim Diaz's preferred position is as an attacking midfielder, but he faces tough competition with one of the world's best midfielders, Jude Bellingham, who he may find challenging to displace. It seems that Diaz may have to settle for a spot on the bench and earn a starting position when either Bellingham, Vinicius, or Rodrygo need rest or are sidelined due to injuries.

Certainly, one must acknowledge that Diaz has seized his opportunities when given playing time, and his tally of 8 goals and 3 assists, considering the number of minutes he has played, is more than satisfactory. He has demonstrated to manager Ancelotti that he can be relied upon, and it appears he will receive more playing time for the remainder of the season.
