Diomande produced a decisive performance in Real Madrid’s 4-1 La Liga victory over Sevilla, scoring once and providing an assist.

Mourinho made his comments before Real Madrid’s meeting with RB Leipzig on Wednesday. Leipzig are Diomande’s former club.

Real Madrid paid €125m for the emerging star, excluding bonuses.
