On the eve of the 2026 World Cup quarter-final, Brahim Diaz, alongside his coach, expressed great ambition during the press conference. Facing France, the Moroccan star is fully confident in the Atlas Lions' chances.

For the Real Madrid player, the experience the team has gained in recent years is a major asset:

Morocco has enough experience at the highest level to be a threat to any opponent. We also have experience. We've played in big matches before. I trust my team.

Brahim Diaz also praised the depth of the Atlas Lions' bench: "I saw that both the starters and substitutes are capable of coming on and making a difference. Tomorrow, we'll try to prove our worth. We have to be better than our opponent, and above all, more efficient."

Against one of the top title contenders, Brahim Diaz made no secret of his goal: reaching the World Cup semi-finals.

Tomorrow we face one of the favorites in this tournament. But if we've made it this far, it's because we're also among the teams capable of challenging the giants. Tomorrow we want to win and deliver our best performance.

The showdown is set for 20:00 GMT at Gillette Stadium in Boston for this thrilling quarter-final.
