Real Madrid welcomed Brahim Diaz back in training this week, with the midfielder appearing visibly downcast as he returned to work following the pain of the final defeat.
Diaz arrived with sad features and a quiet mood, still affected by what the match turned into for him and for the team. The days around the final were described by those close to the group as a “nightmare”, and his expression in the session reflected that feeling.
Inside the training ground, the Real Madrid stars quickly gathered around him. Several teammates were seen offering support and speaking with him at length, in an attempt to lift his spirits and help him move on from the disappointment.
The message from the squad was clear: the final is now in the past, and the focus has to return to the work ahead. Diaz joined the rest of the group in the session as the team turned the page and prepared for the next challenges.
