Real Madrid star Diomandé dedicates winner vs Villarreal to late sister

Real Madrid star Yan Diomandé has taken to social media, to dedicate his first-ever goal for the club to his late sister, Roxane. Winger Diomandé of course enjoyed an evening to remember on Saturday, in Real Madrid’s post-international break return to competitive action.

Afforded a starting berth in a La Liga meeting with Villarreal, the Ivorian netted the game’s only goal, courtesy of a fine right-footed strike during the 2nd-half.

After wheeling away in celebration, the emotion was evident all over Diomandé’s face, as the 19-year-old broke down in tears whilst being mobbed by his teammates.
