A silly red card for Vinicius Junior, a first Real Madrid goal for Diomande, and questionable substitutions, here are three burning questions from Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Villarreal.

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 home victory against Villarreal, prompting writer Maximus Polek to raise three critical questions about the team's chaotic performance. Forward Yan Diomande made his mark after starting on the left wing, scoring the winning goal in place of Vinicius Junior.
Polek questions Jose Mourinho's early 51st-minute substitution of Trent Alexander-Arnold and strongly criticizes substitute Vinicius Junior. Vinicius had a goal disallowed and received a straight red card for pulling Nathan Saliba's hair, putting his availability for El Clasico at serious risk.
