Luis Diaz could be going through his best sporting moment in his entire career as a professional. After his arrival in Liverpool, the talented Colombian footballer's skills have been enhanced by scoring goals in the Premier League and making his debut with assistance and goals in the Champions League.
The guajiro started his participation in the scoreboard in the 36th minute when he received an aerial ball in the area by Trent Alexander-Arnold and before looking to score, he saw Sadio Mané, who entered free from the center of the box, to give up the ball and let him define and score the 2-0, partial. At the end of the match, when the Colombian was testifying to the media after receiving the award as best player of the match, the Senegalese came up and gave him a hug on camera and said a few words in his ear.
This would show the great adaptation that Luis Díaz has had in the Liverpool internals, because, although it was thought that language was going to be a limitation, the Colombian has been able to make himself understood among his teammates. Jurgen Klopp said a few days ago that players like Thiago Alcantará, Firmino and Fabinho have been an important part of making the guajiro footballer feel comfortable.
Liverpool's third goal would also have a Colombian signature after Diaz was leaked a pass that put him face to face with Benfica's goalkeeper to intelligently define, avoiding the goalkeeper, his third goal for Liverpool.
At the celebration, the coffeemaker approaches the grandstand and the video captures the moment when a Benfica fan throws an object to Diaz while he was embraced by his teammates after scoring 3-1 in the 87′ minute, which sealed Liverpool's victory.
The English press did not save praise for the Colombian who was one of the great figures of the match in the Champions League. His return to Portugal could not be better, the Colombian reunited with an old rival and demonstrated his enormous growth in football with the help of the experienced German coach and with the support of top level teammates who allow him to demonstrate his skills on the field.
This is Anfield, a sports outlet that follows Liverpool's current affairs rated it with a score of 8 and stated that, “Back in the team against his former enemies, Diaz was electric on the left wing, always wanting to do something (...) His goal was a great success, and he put his team in a privileged position to reach the Champions League semifinals.”
These accolades join those of his coach, Jurgen Klopp, who said he was more than happy for the match that the Colombian had had and described him as a top player. Likewise, Andrew Robertson, one of Liverpool's benchmarks, assured that the goal scored gives them an important advantage for the return:
