Brahim Diaz was decisive last night as AC Milan beat Napoli 4-0 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and he dedicated his goal to his grandfather.
After scoring the goal from close range to make it 2-0, the Spaniard celebrated by raising his fingers to the sky and then doing a praying gesture, which had many wondering what the reason was behind it.
Brahim’s grandfather passed away a few days ago and evidently he was very close to him, as he said on Twitter: “This is Milan! Great team game, let’s go! This goal is for you grandpa. Rest in peace.”
