Morocco star Brahim Diaz has expressed his wish to compete against France in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals. The midfielder set up two goals during the Atlas Lions’ 2-0 victory over Canada, a result that secured their advancement to the next stage.
The Real Madrid player hopes to encounter his club colleagues on the global stage. Speaking to Cope, Diaz noted that a match against France would allow him to square off against his teammates. Currently, he shares the pitch with Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni for the Spanish giants.
Statistically, Diaz has made his mark on the tournament, recording four assists across five games. This performance makes him the African player with the most assists in a single World Cup run, trailing only Michael Olise in the overall standings.
