A record-breaking match and a celebration that went viral: Yan Diomandé confirmed his return to form with Real Madrid. A week after his first goal, he found the net again in the Merengues' big Liga win.
The midfielder, long criticized for his slow start, also set a 21st-century record, though the details of the feat were not specified. His celebration, inspired by NBA star LeBron James, left a mark.
Fans and observers now see him as a player fully on the rise. The darling of Ivorian football seems to have definitively turned the page on his early struggles.
