After Real Madrid defeated Villarreal, Roncero praised Diomande's crucial goal and Bellingham's performance in his AS column, while questioning Vinicius's red card and the referee's controversial decisions.

On the significance of this victory

Roncero stated: "First, we must emphasize that Real Madrid earned three valuable points with this hard-fought victory. Looking back at the end of this La Liga season, we may well be grateful that the team won this match. Everything that happened during the match—both on a footballing level and the usual issues with refereeing, which has become a chronic problem—could have caused Real Madrid to drop points, especially against a strong team like Villarreal.

Under Marcelino, they were a strong side; don't forget, they ultimately finished in third place. Currently, under Iñigo Pérez, they remain a strong team, though their attack isn't as sharp as before. After Vinicius was sent off, things suddenly became very difficult for Real Madrid, but Mourinho's side showed championship spirit and, with the help of the Bernabéu atmosphere, held onto their lead thanks to Diomande's goal. This new signing, who arrived last summer at a premium price, made his first competitive start for Real Madrid."

On Diomande's goal and the wordplay in the article's headline

Roncero said: "Diomande scored a goal as precious as platinum, helping Real Madrid stay close to the leaders with only two weeks until the El Clásico. We can play with the name of this Ivorian player. In fact, this tense night—shouting, a string of yellow cards, one red card for pulling hair, and countless controversies—can be perfectly summed up as 'Yin and Yang.'"

The concept of yin and yang in Taoism represents two opposing yet complementary forces in constant motion, creating everything in the universe. 'Yin' represents darkness, which we can associate with the referee's decisions. From the shocking red card not shown in the derby to recent refereeing errors, the refereeing has been inconsistent.

'Yang' is originally written with a 'g,' but I deliberately removed it to match Diomande's name, 'Yan.' It represents brightness, light, the sky, strength, and energy. Diomande seized this excellent opportunity to make his starting debut. With this goal, and given that Vinicius could face a two-match suspension, the African player has a chance to prove himself further against Sevilla and Barcelona."

On Vinicius's red card

Roncero commented: "Vinicius's red card for pulling hair was avoidable. However, this action doesn't constitute 'excessive force or violence' as described in Law 12, and what surprises me is that Saliba didn't even protest. Look, even if I accept this red card... is pulling hair more serious than Romero stepping on Bellingham's knee with his boot, or Lee Kang-in's reckless kick at Valverde? Until the Negreira case is resolved, this issue will remain unresolved. Spain's Football Federation's Referee Technical Committee will always be shrouded in doubt until someone truly takes a step toward justice."

On Bellingham and Valverde's performances

Roncero remarked: "With only ten men on the pitch and still plenty of time to play, Valverde controlled the right flank like he does when he's at his peak, while Bellingham controlled the entire match. This English player is the 21st-century Pirri. It was an outstanding performance, relentless effort, a wonderful player!"

Roncero dedicated this victory to a late Real Madrid supporter, Sergio, saying: "Sergio, this victory is for you. Today hasn't been easy for me. This morning, I received news of the passing of Sergio Salesa Pita, a man I respected deeply. He was a devoted Real Madrid fan, only 43 years old, from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and had battled a despicable disease for years. Knowing he didn't have much time left in this world full of contradictions and absurdity, in July he asked us to help him fulfill his greatest wish: to see Bernabéu with his own eyes, the stadium that had lived in his dreams since childhood. We made it happen. When he walked in and saw the towering stands under the closed roof, he let out a prolonged exclamation: 'Incredible!' Later, as he sat in Courtois's dressing room, his amazement continued. As for how excited he was when he stepped onto the pitch and sat in the technical area, there's no need to say: 'Roncero, today I am Mourinho!'

He cried with emotion, and we took him to Plaza Cibeles, where even our mayor personally welcomed him. Although our mayor is essentially an Atlético supporter, he was equally moved when faced with such a painful personal situation. My Lucía, and the admirable Antonio and Juanma, finally brought a ray of light into his darkness. Today, he has left us forever, but he is surely celebrating Real Madrid's victory in heaven, the victory of his beloved team. Rest well, my friend."
