Brahim Díaz and Ayyoub Bouaddi distinguished themselves with their statistics on Tuesday night during the opening matches of the Champions League. The two Moroccan internationals played a crucial role in the respective victories of Real Madrid against Inter Milan (2-1) and Manchester City against FC Porto (2-0).
Starting for Real Madrid, Brahim Díaz created three major chances, the highest total recorded after this first European night, tied with Tajon Buchanan. The Moroccan notably provided an assist to Kylian Mbappé for the opening goal, while delivering four key passes before being substituted after 79 minutes of play.
In his first start with Manchester City, Ayyoub Bouaddi also delivered a particularly impressive performance. The young midfielder completed 54 of his 55 passes against FC Porto, achieving an accuracy of 98.2%. This is the best rate among all players who attempted at least 50 passes in the matches played on Tuesday.
Beyond the victories achieved by their clubs, these statistics illustrate the influence of the two Lions of the Atlas. Brahim established himself in creating Madrid’s chances, while Bouaddi impressed with his technical precision and composure in midfield.
