‘Hang it in the Louvre’: Diaz wonder goal sends fans wild online | OneFootball

Luis Díaz once again demonstrated why he is one of the most spectacular new signings of the season during FC Bayern's 2-2 draw at Union Berlin. In the 38th minute, the Colombian scored a dream goal that quickly went viral on social media.

After a slightly too steep pass from Josip Stanisic, Díaz managed to retrieve the ball at the goal line, swiftly maneuvered it past his opponent, and fired it from an almost impossible angle over Union keeper Frederik Rönnow into the top corner—a goal worthy of the Goal of the Month category.

xG Value: Only 0.03 Percent Chance – Yet a Dream Goal

On social networks, Bayern fans celebrated their wing star frenetically. User Spielertrainer declared on X that the image of the goal belongs in a museum, specifically in the Louvre.

The data also highlights how extraordinary the goal was: According to the statistics service Opta, the xG value (Expected Goals) was just 0.03 percent—the probability of scoring from that position was almost zero.

X user BavarianFBWorks wrote enthusiastically: “Stop whatever you’re doing right now and watch this goal by Lucho.”

MusialaEra emphasized the importance of Díaz’s environment in Munich: “In football, it’s all about the ideal system and environment. Luis Díaz has always been a phenomenal player, but at Bayern, he shines even more because his teammates are selfless and great. Kompany has created the perfect system. Lucho made the best decision of his life.”

Kompany Praises "Stroke of Genius"

Coach Vincent Kompany also praised his protégé highly at the press conference: “We really needed this stroke of genius from Lucho. Of course, he could have scored another goal afterward, but the quality we have in this team is exactly what we need to achieve our season goals.”

The Belgian coach emphasized that Díaz’s offensive power and instinct for special moments are crucial: “He scored three goals this week, which was good for him.”

With such performances, Luis Díaz once again proves that his move to Munich—for around 70 million euros from FC Liverpool—was indeed the best decision of his career.
