ROME (ITALPRESS) – “My heart aches.” Brahim Diaz began his social media post the day after the incredible Africa Cup of Nations final, where he was first a leading light and a key figure for his Morocco team, but then missed the most controversial penalty in football history with an unbelievable chip, given Senegal’s reaction to the penalty, which ultimately won in extra time.
“I dreamed of the continental title, I also dreamed of it because of all the love you have given me with every message, with every show of support that made me feel I was not alone. I fought with all my strength, putting my heart above all else. Yesterday I failed, and I take full responsibility. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. It will be hard to recover, because this wound doesn’t heal easily, but I will try. Not for myself, but for all those who believed in me and for all those who suffered with me. I will continue until one day I can reciprocate all this love and be a source of pride for my Moroccan people,” said the Real Madrid player, formerly of AC Milan.
