Yan Diomande will take part in one of the defining fixtures of his young career when Real Madrid face FC Barcelona in the Clasico.

The 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is 19 years and 346 days old and could make a notable mark on the history of the rivalry if he scores in La Liga against Barca.

A goal would make Diomande the second-youngest Real Madrid player to score in a Clasico, according to Opta data. Only his Brazilian team-mate Vinicius Junior has achieved the feat at a younger age, scoring when he was 19 years and 233 days old in March 2020.

Diomande therefore has the chance to move close to a record held by Vinicius Junior, while also adding an individual milestone to a match of major importance for both teams.

For the Ivorian, finding the net against FC Barcelona would represent a significant personal achievement and another indication of his potential at the highest level of European football. The opportunity now rests on whether he can convert it on the pitch.

Barcelona are due to play their 10th match of the Spanish league season against Real Madrid.

The betting company 1xbet has priced a Barcelona victory at 1.62, with a draw at 5.75 and a Real Madrid win at 3.90.
