"Very, very special": Kane full of praise for this Bayern star | OneFootball

Spectacular goals have become almost an everyday occurrence at FC Bayern these days – but what Luis Diaz accomplished on Saturday in Berlin even left Harry Kane in awe. The English superstar was thrilled by his teammate’s dream goal after the 2-2 draw against Union Berlin.

The Colombian had scored the equalizer just before halftime – and did so in spectacular fashion. After what seemed like an overly long pass from Josip Stanisic, Diaz artistically slid the ball back into play, dribbled past his opponent, and curled the ball unstoppably into the top corner from a tight angle.

“Honestly: incredible,” Kane raved after the match on Sky.

The Englishman analyzed the scene with visible admiration: “The way he kept the ball in play, got past the defender, and then scored as well – that was really special. A truly, truly special goal.”

And Kane added: “He’s been doing things like that all season. But I’d say that was probably his best goal so far.”

The striker, who himself scored the equalizer to make it 2-2 in stoppage time, thus showed not only team spirit but also his appreciation for his attacking partner’s class.

Kompany praises Diaz – Baumgart pays respect

Coach Vincent Kompany also couldn’t hide his excitement about his summer signing. “We have that kind of quality in our team. We need it, too, if we want to achieve our goals,” said the Belgian.

Although Kompany recalled the missed big chance just before halftime, he emphasized that Diaz has become a decisive factor in recent weeks.

Even Union coach Steffen Baumgart joined in the praise – despite conceding the goal: “The goal was simply world-class. We all look at each other and say: Wow! That’s what football is all about.”

Despite the late equalizer and the first dropped points of the season, Bayern remain clearly on course in the Bundesliga table. For Diaz, it was already his third goal in a week – proof of his outstanding current form.

Now the 28-year-old is heading to the Colombian national team, where he hopes to continue his run. If he performs even remotely as he did in Berlin, all of South America will soon be talking about this stroke of genius.
