Signed for €125 million, Yan Diomandé was long criticized for his lack of impact. But in recent weeks, the Ivorian midfielder shows a completely different face.
He is stringing together convincing matches. His defensive efforts and passing quality are winning over the Madrid public. "You have to take one out and put him in," even said a Spanish observer.
Diomandé is taking advantage of the absences and dips in form of certain key players like Vinicius. The competition is intensifying within Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
The former Atalanta player finally seems to be meeting expectations. Real Madrid hopes that this momentum continues for the rest of the season.
