Jose Mourinho praised Yan Diomande after Real Madrid began the 2026/27 season with a 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the first Clasico of the campaign.

The Portuguese manager also highlighted Marc Cucurella’s discipline in dealing with Lamine Yamal, while crediting Diomande with restricting Barcelona’s threat on the opposite flank.
