📲 After horror tackle on Hakimi, Bayern star Diaz speaks out on Instagram | OneFootball

Luis Díaz had a truly turbulent evening yesterday. In Bayern's 2-1 triumph over reigning Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, the winger made the difference with his two goals – yet after the final whistle, most of the talk was about a different incident.

The reason was his tough challenge on Achraf Hakimi shortly before halftime. With a sliding tackle from behind, Bayern's number 14 took down the PSG star and twisted the Moroccan's ankle in the process.

Hakimi was unable to continue due to injury and Díaz was also forced off. The winger ultimately received a red card for the foul and was condemned to watch the rest of the match from the sidelines as his teammates held on to secure the away win.

The FCB star has now commented on this emotional rollercoaster on his Instagram account.

The man of the evening speaks of a "night full of emotions." He was reminded that "in 90 minutes, anything can happen – the best and the worst." The statement ends with perhaps the most important sentence. Díaz wishes Hakimi a speedy return to the pitch; it is clear he regrets the unfortunate incident.

In doing so, he strikes the same tone as the head coaches, Vincent Kompany and Luis Enrique, immediately after the final whistle. While the scene looked nasty, the consensus was that Díaz had no malicious intent.

"That's football, it's a contact sport. It's a shame because it's difficult for the players," summarized Enrique, who, like his Munich counterpart, was reminded of the recent past at the Club World Cup: "I remember Musiala's injury in the summer. It's just one of those moments when you get unlucky."
