Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl might have tied his future to how his move for former Liverpool winger Luis Díaz plays out, but it is very clear that he believes that the Colombian is the missing link in the team’s attack.

Luis Diaz paid tribute to Diogo Jota after scoring for Bayern Munich in Saturday's German Super Cup win over Stuttgart, with Harry Kane also chiming in.

But that is not the Luis Diaz way. Instead, he gambled, risking a potential season-swaying turnover deep in Liverpool territory. The Colombian carried the ball forward and… just kept going.

Harry Kane and Luis Diaz were on target as Bayern Munich registered a comfortable 2-1 win over Stuttgart to claim the German Super Cup title, their first trophy in 2025-26 campaign.

Luis Diaz is supposed to be the lionheart of Liverpool and Colombia. He’s the silky-skilled entertainer who always tries to make a difference through his courage and bravery.

To many, Luis Díaz is Bayern Munich's star signing of the summer. However, former international Dietmar Hamann is extremely critical of the Colombian's arrival. “Luis Díaz is a very good footballer, but what Bayern are doing is not a business model,” Dietmar Hamann said in an interview with the Austrian newspaper Heute.
