‘Talk now’ – Real Madrid star’s message to Atlético boss Diego Simeone | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Brahim Díaz made use of the opportunity to take aim at Atlético head coach Diego Simeone during this evening’s meeting between the clubs.

The latest edition of the Madrid Derby, of course, played out a short time ago.

When all was said and done, it was Real Madrid who emerged on the right side of a 2-1 result, to secure a narrow first-leg advantage to take to the Wanda Metropolitano for the tie’s return leg.

And it was the aforementioned Brahim Díaz who proved himself the decisive figure.

After Rodrygo’s opener was cancelled out courtesy of a spectacular strike on the part of Julián Alvarez, Brahim conjured up a moment of magic of his own, carving out a yard of space in the penalty area before picking out the far corner in style.

And, whilst celebrating, the Moroccan international sent a crystal clear message to none other than Diego Simeone.

As revealed by Movistar, after Atléti’s headmaster suggested in his pre-match press conference that Brahim was unlikely to start the fixture, the 25-year-old responded by repeatedly shouting the following in Simeone’s direction:

“Speak now! You spoke yesterday! Speak now!”
