Diaz silences his critics for good, Bayern star makes record-breaking start | OneFootball

Luis Díaz's transfer to FC Bayern was not just celebrated in the summer. The 75 million Euro transfer fee that was sent to FC Liverpool also sparked many critical voices. But the 28-year-old Colombian is providing answers on the pitch – and in a record-breaking manner.

With his goal in the 5:0 home victory against Hamburger SV, Díaz made it into the club's annals. The winger has scored in each of his first three Bundesliga games – a feat that only three professionals have achieved in a Bayern jersey before him: Ruggiero Rizzitelli (1996), Luca Toni (2007), and Mario Mandzukic (2012). Neither Gerd Müller nor Robert Lewandowski managed this feat at their debut.

If you add the goal in the Supercup against VfB Stuttgart, Díaz has already scored four goals and made two assists in five official matches. For a newcomer in such a prominent position, this is a debut that raises expectations – and silences critics.

"Landed in the right team"

Díaz himself seems as if he never had any difficulties getting started in Munich. During an international match for Colombia he openly talked about his first weeks in Germany: "They welcomed me in an incredible and very special way. I am very happy. I landed in the right team, in the right group."

Indeed, some observers had expressed doubts after the first matches as Díaz left several good opportunities unused. But with each additional goal, he underlines that he is following up his words with actions. "This was just the beginning," he announced – a promise that Bayern fans like to hear.

Answer to the critics

The question of whether the million-dollar investment has paid off for the German record champions seems to be answered after the first few weeks. Díaz has not only quickly played his way into the starting lineup, but has also immediately established himself as a difference-maker. His name joins the illustrious list of newcomers who have made an immediate impact in Munich.

Looking ahead to the upcoming tasks in the Bundesliga and Champions League, his dream start could become even more important. Because one thing is clear: Luis Díaz has come to make a difference – and he is already writing history.
