Yan Diomande could make Real Madrid history in first Clasico against FC Barcelona

Ivory Coast international Yan Diomande is set to play in one of the biggest matches of his young career when Real Madrid face FC Barcelona in the Clasico.

The 19-year-old winger, who will be 19 years and 346 days old, has the chance to test himself against one of Real Madrid’s greatest rivals in a fixture that attracts widespread attention.

Diomande could also make his mark in the match’s history. If he scores for Real Madrid in La Liga against Barca, he will become the club’s second-youngest player to find the net in a Clasico.

Only Vinicius Junior has achieved the feat at a younger age for Real Madrid. The Brazil forward scored against FC Barcelona aged 19 years and 233 days in March 2020, according to Opta data.

A goal would give Diomande a place alongside his team-mate in the record books and provide an added personal incentive in a match that is already important to both sides. Scoring against Barca would represent a significant moment for the Ivorian and further demonstrate his potential on the European stage.

Barcelona are due to play Real Madrid in their 10th La Liga match of the season.

The betting company 1xbet lists Barcelona as favourites, with odds of 1.62 for a home victory. A draw is priced at 5.75, while Real Madrid are listed at 3.90 to win.
