New Bayern record? Diaz could surpass Lewandowski and Kane | OneFootball

Luis Diaz has only been a player for FC Bayern for a few weeks - and he's already on the verge of making history. The summer signing could set a new club record this Saturday in the Bundesliga duel with TSG Hoffenheim (15.30 hrs, Sky).

So far, only four players have managed to score at least one goal in each of their first three Bundesliga matches in a Bayern jersey. Alongside Ruggiero Rizzitelli (1996), Luca Toni (2007) and Mario Mandzukic (2012) Luis Diaz now also joins this list. The Colombian scored against RB Leipzig, FC Augsburg and most recently in the 5:0 victory over Hamburger SV.

With another goal against Hoffenheim, Diaz would be the first new signing in the club's history to score in his first four league games in a row. This would secure him a special place in the annals of the record champions after a short time in Munich.

In a direct comparison with two of the club's greatest goal scorers, Diaz is already ahead. Harry Kane, who had an outstanding debut season last year, scored three times in his first two games, but failed to score on the third matchday against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Robert Lewandowski took until the 7th matchday in his first Bayern season to break the three-goal mark. Diaz has long since passed this mark. In total, the 28-year-old has already been involved in six goals in his first six competitive matches - four goals and two assists.

Diaz could make club history after just a few weeks. With just one more goal, he would not only distance himself from his illustrious predecessors, but also set a start record that is extraordinary even by Bayern standards.
