Diomande scores again almost half a year later and is knocking on the door of a starting position

Ivorian forward Yan Diomande scored a second-half goal to secure a victory for Real Madrid against Villarreal, marking his first goal since April when he was playing for Leipzig. Following the match, the player stated that he hopes this performance will help earn him a regular spot in the starting lineup.

In a separate fixture, Real Madrid's basketball team also secured a dominant victory, defeating the bottom-placed Kids&Us Manresa 120-83 in what was described as their most comfortable game of the season. The basketball win featured a strong, team-oriented performance with Olivier Sarr leading the effort and nine players scoring in double digits.
