Real Madrid forward Brahim Diaz recently quipped about his close relationship with former AC Milan teammate Theo Hernandez, suggesting that he communicates with him more frequently than with his own family or girlfriend.
Diaz, who joined Los Blancos from Manchester City in 2019 and spent a successful loan spell at AC Milan before returning to Real Madrid last summer, scored a remarkable goal in their recent 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg. Reflecting on his career, he expressed gratitude to Milan, stating (via Football Italia):
“Yes, I feel well, but I was happy at Milan, too, and I will forever be grateful to them.
I love everyone at the club because I spent three amazing years in Milan, and I am happy here, too.”
When asked about his communication with Theo Hernandez, Diaz humorously responded:
“Of course, I did. I talk more often to him than to my family or my girlfriend. Sure. I always follow them [AC Milan] and will forever do it.”
During his three-year tenure at AC Milan, Brahim Diaz contributed 18 goals and 15 assists in 124 games.
