What does Brahim Díaz’s Real Madrid celebration mean? | OneFootball

An insight into the meaning behind the trademark celebration made use of by Real Madrid star Brahim Díaz has this week been provided.

This, of course, comes fresh off the Real Madrid faithful being afforded their latest look at as much just last night.

Los Blancos locked horns with city rivals Atlético on Tuesday, in the first leg of a Champions League Round-of-16 showdown.

When all was said and done, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops emerged narrow victors, securing a 2-1 advantage to take to the Metropolitano for the tie’s return leg.

And it was the aforementioned Brahim Díaz who proved himself match-winner.

The Moroccan international conjured up a piece of individual magic during the 2nd-half, rounding out the scoring, and handing Real Madrid the edge in the tie.

Brahim’s gorgeous bending finish, as alluded to above, was followed in turn by what has now become a trademark celebration, in which the former AC Milan man faces the crowd, before making a shrugging motion and lifting his hands.

And now, an insight into the meaning behind this gesture has been forthcoming online.

The info comes courtesy of Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, who has revealed:

‘His trademark celebration apparently signifies that, with effort, anything can be achieved.’
