Yan Diomande was playing for Leganés and spoke candidly after losing to Real Madrid in 2025: “Asencio commits a penalty on me, but it’s always like this with Madrid”. The remark was remembered as one of those typical complaints from a sore loser.
Months later, the winger will be one of the white club’s high-profile signings, which will pay 100 million euros to RB Leipzig for his transfer. Social media did not forgive the irony and dug up the full video, in which he also claimed that Mbappé’s free-kick goal “was not a foul” and that “it was not a penalty either”.
Now every word he said on El Chiringuito is read differently. Will he have to eat his own words if he ends up signing for Madrid? 👀⚪
