That innocence typical of age has already been lost. brahim is back with the same delusion with which landed makes more than four years in Madrid (January 2019), but with the pose that instills a milli three seasons abroad. The Spanish international is far from that young promise with crack details. He has become a footballer and it is already a reality. Without buts. “when i came again was a kid, with the same talent, but now I have more minutes playedmore parties in big competitionsin Champions… That makes you more mature.”, he commented on June 13, in his presentation as a new white player. Neither age nor inexperience are valid arguments against him today. He is prepared and so it has considered also the Madrid, who sees in the Andalusian the ideal replacement for Marco Asensio. His role, from the outset, is going to be different from what he used to at San Siro, but Brahim doesn’t shrink.

And it is that three years go a long way. Four and a half, actually, without counting his time at City. Because it was in the etihad where did it start to savor professional football. Raised in the Málaga youth academy, he had already played 15 matches with the Mancunian club’s first team (spread over three seasons) before file for him Madrid. she had only 19 years and a self-confidence that powerfully attracted attention. He arrived in the capital on January 6, 2019 and his football has gone naturally in crescendo. Madrid paid 17 million euros for him.

Idol in San Siro

It was evident that he needed minutes and in Milan he found them. There he has become a reference for the fans rossonera and in one of the most unbalanced midfielders in Europe. Three years at San Siro that have put him in the spotlight, mainly the last two. He comes from leading Milan to be proclaimed Serie A champion eleven years later (21-22) and returning the team to the Champions League semifinals (22-23) after 16 seasons without doing so (the last date being 2007).

Also his goal in the round of 16 against Tottenham or his ride to kill Juventus in the League ended up being decisive. When the pressure is on, he doesn’t hide. Real Madrid DNA.

The position that has led him to explode in Milan and in which he feels most comfortable. For this reason and for his new features, he trusts to be, this time, important in the white club. Another Brahim is back with a lot to say.
