CAN 2025: Brahim Diaz returns to Real Madrid, Alvaro Arbeloa reacts

In a press conference, Alvaro Arbeloa spoke about Brahim Diaz's return from the 2025 AFCON.

With Morocco, Brahim Diaz finished as the top scorer of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Real Madrid midfielder endured a heartbreaking end to the tournament. After missing a decisive panenka in the final against Senegal, he has faced criticism from all corners of the globe. Now back in Madrid, Diaz is determined to bounce back. Alvaro Arbeloa is eagerly awaiting his return.

"I am very happy to have him with us. He has already shown his quality here, and he proved it again at the Africa Cup of Nations. He can bring a lot to the team, he displays great maturity and an excellent attitude. He’s ready to help, and I’m delighted about that," Arbeloa said at the press conference.
