Bayern star Diaz already matching Coman’s entire last season | OneFootball

Luis Diaz continues to make waves at FC Bayern. The summer newcomer from FC Liverpool has established himself in Munich in record time – and is already delivering statistics for which his predecessor Kingsley Coman needed an entire season.

In the 3-0 victory of FC Bayern in Frankfurt, Diaz was the outstanding man on the field. Just 15 seconds into the game, the Colombian put his team in the lead, and in the final phase, he set the final score with his goal. Thus, the 28-year-old already has five goals and four assists after just six Bundesliga matchdays. For comparison: Coman had the exact same tally in the entire previous season with 28 appearances.

The summer transfer of Coman to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia was a turning point in Munich – but Diaz has not only closed the gap on the left offensive side, he has filled it as if he had been part of the team for years. FC Bayern paid around 70 million euros to Liverpool for the winger. Diaz signed until 2029 and is impressively repaying the trust so far.

Praise from Bayern coach Kompany for Diaz

Coach Vincent Kompany is full of praise. “From day one, he is always there. Whenever we have a chance, he is there – even if he doesn't score. The team exudes effectiveness, but you need players like Luis who can deliver that,” said the coach after the Frankfurt victory on Sky. Diaz not only brings speed and dribbling skills but also enormous goal threat to Bayern's offensive play.

President Herbert Hainer also expressed his enthusiasm and joked during the Oktoberfest visit: “I’ve already said: If Luis Diaz keeps scoring goals, then we’re unbeatable.”

Bayern leads the Bundesliga with a flawless 18 points and an impressive 25:3 goal difference. After the international break, the next highlight awaits: the Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund on October 18. Diaz will once again be in the spotlight – as a symbol of the record champion's new offensive power and efficiency.
