"Yan Diomandé is breaking down the door": Backed by Mbappé, Real’s record signing seriously threatens Vinicius

Yan Diomandé starred in Real Madrid’s 4-1 Champions League win over Leipzig on Wednesday, October 21, after scoring against Sevilla the previous weekend. The 19-year-old Ivorian came on in the 70th minute, assisted Kylian Mbappé and scored in the 87th, bringing his tally to six goal contributions in his last four matches. He became Real’s youngest substitute to score and assist in a Champions League match and, according to Opta, the youngest African to achieve the feat since Obafemi Martins in 2003. Journalist Tomás Roncero warned Vinicius Junior that Diomandé was “breaking down the door,” while Mbappé tried to give him his man-of-the-match award.
