Brahim Diaz continued to shine with the Moroccan national team, and scored a hat-trick in the first half of the Lesotho match in the last round of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Real Madrid star had scored two goals in the Gabon match a few days ago, when Morocco achieved a resounding 5-1 victory.

Diaz continued to shine against Lesotho at the Stade d’Honneur in Oujda, when he scored 3 goals in just 42 minutes in the first half, which ended with Morocco leading 5-0.

This is the first time Brahim Diaz has scored a hat-trick in his career, whether with clubs (Manchester City, Real Madrid and Milan) or with his country’s national team.
In general, this is Diaz’s eighth match with the “Atlas Lions” jersey, and the numbers show how important he is to coach Walid Regragui’s squad after contributing 9 goals, scoring 7 and creating 2.
It is noteworthy that Diaz returned two weeks ago from a severe injury he sustained with Real Madrid, which kept him out for two weeks, and the opportunity seems available for him to participate as a starter once the international break ends in light of Rodrigo’s injury.
