He was a figure in Real Madrid and won championships, he was behind bars for a scam

Incredible stories happen in football. Players who had a difficult childhood and became great stars or footballers who were stars and ended up being a great failure. The story that we are going to tell you is that of a player who played for Real Madrid but because of a bad decision he ended up behind bars.

Mahamadou Diarra earned the nickname of the hero of Real Madrid history with that remembered goal against Mallorca that gave the club a championship after three years without winning LaLiga. This action made the team's fans always remember him. This African player was always a great professional.

Upon retiring from soccer in 2016, Diarra was sentenced to two years in prison in his native country. The reason was a case of fraud in the purchase of a house, the victim never received the money and decided to report it to the authorities, who decided to arrest him and force him to pay 10 million francs.

His present is unknown

Virtually nothing is known about what he did after serving his sentence, he does not appear on TV, radio or the internet. Since he left football in 2014, had it not been for the scandal that led to his imprisonment, nothing would be known about his life.
