Yann Diomandé scores his first goal as a Real Madrid player and puts the white team ahead in the match against Villarreal. José Mourinho's men need to add three to prevent Barça from escaping the lead. The match took place with few ideas and without dangerous chances beyond two shots from Mbappé. The main novelty is that the Portuguese coach removes Vinicius from the eleven and opts for Diomandé in his place.
