Brahim Diaz delighted to make winning Real Madrid debut

Brahim Diaz was delighted to make a winning debut for Real Madrid in their Copa del Rey triumph over Leganes.

The former Manchester City starlet, who was presented as a new Whites' player on Monday, came on in the 78th minute to replace Vinicius Jr.

The midfielder spoke at the end of the match: "This is a big, unforgettable and unique day, to make my debut at this stadium and with these fans has been a dream since I was a kid, winning makes the dream even better, but I'm calm about it all. I have to give everything out on the field because this club and these fans deserve it, I'm going to frame the debut jersey and hang it in my room."

He added: "Sergio Ramos congratulated me and told me to continue like this, he said that everything comes and that I'll get a lot of minutes, he's a top player and playing with him is a moment to savour, it's a dream."
