Brahim Diaz and De Bruyne leading the line with most assists in 2023

Brahim Diaz has been both praised and criticised this season, with many ups and downs, but 2023 has been a step forward for him. In fact, he’s almost on par with Kevin De Bruyne in one respect. 

Diaz was the protagonist for Milan in their 5-1 trashing of Sampdoria as he assisted two goals and bagged one himself. He was behind almost everything that the Rossoneri created up front and it was a MOTM display from him.

As highlighted by the official website of Milan after the game, Kevin De Bruyne (7) is the only midfielder that has more assists than Brahim Diaz (6) in Europe’s top five leagues in 2023. This says a lot about the Spaniard, as most Rossoneri fans believe he can do even more.

Milan are keen on redeeming the player from Real Madrid and it remains to be seen if the parties will reach an agreement. Diaz, meanwhile, needs to work on his consistency because that is certainly his main flaw currently.
