Doubts dispelled: Diaz delivers his Bayern masterclass | OneFootball

After just ten competitive matches, Luis Díaz has become indispensable to the Bayern team. The Colombian delivered his masterpiece at Eintracht Frankfurt – and silenced any doubts about his signing once and for all.

Once again, FC Bayern put on a stellar performance and put Eintracht Frankfurt in their place on the 6th Bundesliga matchday. In the 3-0 away victory, the tenth win in ten competitive matches this season, one player stood out: Luis Díaz. The winger shone not only with two goals and an assist for Harry Kane but also impressed with his creativity, dynamism, and commitment. A performance that deservedly earned him the title of "Player of the Match."

No Initial Struggles: Díaz Impresses from the Start

"Lucho has been involved from day one," praised coach Vincent Kompany on Sky about the 28-year-old. In his first ten appearances, the Colombian has five goals and four assists – a dream start. "Every moment we have a chance, he's involved, even if he doesn't score," Kompany enthused. "This activity radiates from the team, but then you need players like Lucho who bring that every week."

Joshua Kimmich was also impressed after the Frankfurt match: "How quickly he has integrated is exceptional. It's not easy when you come to a new country. We've seen many players who haven't managed that." The midfield chief also emphasized the human factor: "He was part of the group from the first moment, regardless of the fact that he helps us tremendously in sports. It's really fun to be on the pitch with him."

Thus, Díaz is early on confirming the hopes placed in him. The former Liverpool star moved to Isar for up to 75 million euros in the summer – a price that now almost seems like a bargain.

When Bayern presented Luis Díaz as Leroy Sané's successor, there was indeed some skepticism. But the 28-year-old has long silenced all critics. His commitment, joy of playing, and team spirit have made him a fan favorite within weeks – and a symbol of the new Bayern style under Kompany.

"I find it remarkable how he puts himself at the service of the team and defends," explained sports director Max Eberl after the match in Frankfurt. "He shows incredible willingness. That's what we wanted: for him to bring his qualities forward and also be a defensive support."

Particularly impressive: Díaz is not afraid to do defensive work. In the 69th minute, he stopped the advancing Aurelio Buta with a tactical foul – yellow card included. Such actions, combined with his offensive qualities, show that the Colombian is far more than a classic winger.

Offensively, he shone with scenes reminiscent of his best times at Liverpool: pace dribbling, precise passes, ice-cold finishes. His second goal in the 84th minute, when he left Robin Koch standing and finished coolly, was the crowning conclusion of a gala performance.

Even in England, they are amazed at the rise of the former Premier League star. "He continues his incredible start," wrote the Daily Mail, emphasizing that Díaz is delivering at Bayern exactly what is currently missing at Liverpool.
