Poll: 70% of Fans Demand Díaz Starts for Real Madrid

The results of a poll conducted by Spanish newspaper AS have revealed that over 70% of fans believe Moroccan international Brahim Díaz deserves to start for Real Madrid, following his absence from the official lineup for three months.

Fans have called on coach Álvaro Arbeloa to give Díaz more opportunities to play, as he has not started any match since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. The poll, which surveyed over 4,000 participants, showed that 7 out of 10 supporters believe Brahim deserves a place in the starting XI for the Royal Club.

Arbeloa has been unable to rely on Díaz since taking over as coach due to the player's participation in AFCON. Since his return from the tournament, the coach has given him playing minutes in all matches, but a starting spot remains elusive, mirroring his situation during Xabi Alonso's tenure.

AS noted that public opinion is clear regarding giving Díaz his full opportunity in Real Madrid's starting lineup to showcase all his capabilities.
