José Mourinho had reason to be pleased after Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the first Clasico of the 2026/27 season. He also commented on Yan Diomandé's performance.

The Portuguese tactician praised Marc Cucurella's discipline against Lamine Yamal, while also commending Diomandé for limiting Barcelona's options on the other side of the pitch.

“Diomandé was rarely outpaced by Xavi Espart or João Cancelo,” Mourinho stated after the Merengues' win at Camp Nou.
