Real Madrid: Yan Diomande, Mourinho's lucky charm
Yan Diomande has made a successful debut as a starter for Real Madrid in La Liga. The Ivorian winger has played five matches in the starting XI, scoring two goals, providing two assists and recording five victories.
The record speaks for itself. Every time the young forward has started, the Madrid club has won its match. The 4-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano on September 12 marked his first appearance in the starting XI this season.
Diomande then contributed to victories over Elche (3-2), Villarreal (1-0), Sevilla FC (4-1) and FC Barcelona (2-1). He scored his first league goal against Villarreal before also finding the net against Sevilla FC. His two assists complete an already impressive record.

Five starts, five victories
At 19, the Ivory Coast international is gaining ground in José Mourinho's squad. His speed, ability to beat opponents and attacking efficiency offer Real Madrid additional options.
The next appointment is scheduled for Sunday, November 1, away to Racing Santander. Another start would allow Diomande to extend this perfect run and confirm his influence on Madrid's results.
However, Diomande's start against Racing Santander remains uncertain. Another appearance in the starting XI would allow him to extend his winning run in La Liga.
