Few expected Luis Díaz to Arne Slot right into Bayern Munich’s set-up when he moved there, but he hit the ground running and enjoys a fruitful partnership with Michael Olise as Bayern’s deadly wingers that feed Harry Kane. The former FC Porto winger maintains the belief that making the move to Bayern was the correct decision.
“Deciding to join Bayern was the right choice,” the 29-year-old told ESPN Colombia (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “I’m really happy and I enjoy every match. I feel great,
I’m in good shape, and that means I’m ready to help the team. We have a clear plan, we’re a very united group, and that shows on the pitch.”
Lucho came up big against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, ghosting in behind his old Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold to calmly slot Serge Gnabry’s through ball past Andriy Lunin and give Bayern the lead. It has been an electrifying first season with Bayern for Díaz, with 38 G/A in 40 matches in all competitions so far.
