Diaz fulfills childhood dream with 'unforgettable' Real Madrid debut

Brahim Diaz said his Real Madrid debut completed a dream he’s had since he was a child after making his first appearance since arriving from Manchester City.

Diaz swapped Premier League champions City for La Liga giants Madrid on a six-and-a-half-year contract last week.

And the 19-year-old attacker did not take long to make his first appearance for the club, coming off the bench on Wednesday in Madrid's 3-0 Copa del Rey victory over Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Goal from Sergio Ramos, Lucas Vázquez and fellow teenager Vinícius Júnior had the match well out of reach before Diaz stepped on the pitch.
