Brahim Diaz realized his dream of joining Real Madrid in 2019.

An old photo from his Instagram account surfaced, portraying Diaz as a ball boy with an endearing expression as he interacted with new teammates Isco and Santi Cazorla.

During his time as a ball boy at Malaga, Diaz crossed paths with Isco, who was then playing for Real Madrid. However, Isco later made a move to Real Betis. Diaz, who initially signed a £22 million deal from Manchester City in 2019, took on the role of a ball boy at Malaga during Isco’s stint with the club from 2011 to 2013 before his transfer to Los Blancos.

The picture, shared in November 2016, was accompanied by the caption: ‘I always wanted to be a professional footballer.’ Beaming with pride, Diaz was officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player after his £22 million transfer from Manchester City.

Brahim couldn’t contain his emotions after the draw between Real Madrid and Real Betis. Right after the final whistle, he erupted in joy, embracing Isco tightly – the same Isco he had encountered and served as a ball boy alongside back in their Malaga days. This reunion on the La Liga pitch wasn’t just a casual meeting; it symbolized an emotional journey from Brahim’s early days pursuing his dreams to becoming teammates with Isco at the prestigious Real Madrid.

The heartfelt embrace became an icon of the bond they shared and the long road they traveled together, from their youthful days at Malaga to the pinnacle moments at the Bernabéu. It was a celebration of their shared experiences, triumphs, and the enduring camaraderie that had evolved over the years.
