Luis Diaz has expressed his absolute conviction in his decision to swap Liverpool for Bayern Munich last summer following a match-winning performance at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Colombian forward opened the scoring as the Bundesliga leaders secured a 2-1 first-leg advantage over Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final tie, taking his remarkable season tally to 41 goal involvements.
It was one of those passes that only Trent Alexander-Arnold could play. Liverpool had struggled to break down Tottenham in December 2024, Spurs holding strong for 23 minutes despite waves of pressure. And then, Alexander-Arnold delivered the killer ball. He drifted in from the right wing, created the ideal angle, and whipped a cross in between two centre-backs, right onto Luis Diaz's head.
Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus has heaped praise on the club's current attacking line, comparing their clinical coordination to that of a luxury timepiece. However, the former Balon d'Or winner insists that tactical brilliance alone will not be enough to overcome Real Madrid in their upcoming Champions League showdown.
Luis Diaz has opened up about his burgeoning partnership with Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, hailing the England captain as both a "machine" and a "gentleman". The Colombian winger, who joined the Bavarian giants to form a lethal attacking trident alongside Kane and Michael Olise, revealed the vital lessons he has picked up from the veteran striker during their short time together in Germany.
Bayern Munich have failed in their attempt to overturn Luis Diaz's controversial red card, despite the match referee admitting he made a mistake. The Colombian winger was sent off for a perceived dive during Saturday's draw with Bayer Leverkusen. Although replays showed clear contact, the DFB sports court ruled that the one-match suspension must stand, deepening Bayern's squad crisis.
In Leverkusen, nine Bayern players managed to secure a point. Afterwards, all the attention turned to the referee. Criticism came even from the very top of the FCB hierarchy.
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany could not hide his frustration after seeing Luis Diaz dismissed in the closing stages of a pulsating encounter against Bayer Leverkusen. Diaz, who had earlier netted the equaliser for the visitors, was shown a second yellow card for an alleged dive after a challenge from Leverkusen goalkeeper Janis Blaswich.
FC Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen on matchday 26 of the Bundesliga was marred by a number of controversial decisions by referee Christian Dingert, who disallowed two of Munich’s goals and sent off Luis Diaz for an alleged dive. He says he would not make that decision again.
FC Bayern picked up a point in a heated match in Leverkusen. Two controversial incidents in particular caused a great deal of frustration for the record champions.
