Real Madrid's record signing Yan Diomande scored a highlight-reel goal in the match, volleying Brahim Díaz's pass into the top corner. This was Diomande's third goal in his last four games for Real Madrid, after failing to score in his first eight appearances. His transfer from RB Leipzig, worth a potential €140 million this summer, has proven to be a shrewd move by the club.
Vinícius Júnior, who was replaced by Diomande on 70 minutes, again drew some whistles from the crowd. Coach Mourinho acknowledged that the whistling was unhelpful in Vinícius's quest to find his best form. Despite this, Mourinho praised Vinícius's performance, stating that he had a good game tactically.
Kylian Mbappé, who scored a goal in the match, offered words of encouragement to Vinícius, urging him to be calm and proud of who he is. Vinícius Júnior was suspended for the upcoming LaLiga Clasico against Barcelona.
