Real Madrid and Moroccan national team midfielder Brahim Diaz shared a status after failing to score a penalty against Senegal in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (0:0, 0:1 extra time).
Idman.Biz reports that Senegal goalkeeper Eduard Mendy saved Brahim's penalty in the 90+24th minute. The kick happened after a long discussion about the penalty.
"My heart aches. I desired this title thanks to all the love you have given me, with every message, every support that makes me feel like I am not alone. I fought with all my heart.
Yesterday I failed and I take all the responsibility and sincerely apologize.
This wound will be difficult to heal, but I will try. Not for myself, but for everyone who believes in me and for everyone who suffers with me.
I will move forward until the day I can return all this love to you and be the pride of my Moroccan people," Brahim wrote on social media.
