Yan Diomande was decisive for Real Madrid. The forward scored the only goal in a 1-0 La Liga win over Villarreal on Saturday, before providing an assist in the 4-3 Champions League victory against AS Roma on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Ange-Yoan Bonny came off the bench to score for Inter Milan in their 3-4 loss to Club Brugge on Tuesday. Obite Ndicka played the full match for Roma in that encounter.
