Mourinho hails Yan Diomandé’s progress at Real Madrid

José Mourinho sounded pleased with Yan Diomandé’s integration into Real Madrid, citing his impact for the first time in a big moment. As reported by L'Équipe, the coach pointed to what the player did on the Tuesday match at Elche.

Real Madrid won 2-3, and Diomandé’s performance stood out because it directly contributed to the game’s swing. L'Équipe notes that he was involved in the move that led to the second goal scored by Kylian Mbappé.

Diomandé, on cue

For Mourinho, the key takeaway wasn’t just the result, but the way Diomandé is starting to fit into the team’s rhythm. L'Équipe underlines that the player’s decisiveness arrived quickly, suggesting his adaptation process is accelerating.

With that framing, Mourinho effectively turns a strong win into a positive signal for the squad: Real Madrid has another option that can show up when the match demands it. In this case, the end product was Mbappé.
