Diaz Nets Debut Goal with Jota Tribute…
Luis Diaz, freshly parachuted into Bayern Munich for a small planet’s worth of cash, made a dazzling start by scoring in his debut against VFB Stuttgart in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. It only took him 77 minutes to remind fans why Bayern broke the piggy bank, coolly converting a Serge Gnabry cross to go up 2-0. The game was tighter than a pair of old jeans, but Bayern clinched a 2-1 victory. Diaz, possibly drafting future patent ideas, celebrated like his old pal Diogo Jota at the corner flag, honoring his late friend’s signature video game move.
Diaz and Jota shared the field at Liverpool between 2022 and 2025, forming a part of the club’s ecosystem. Diaz’s summer transfer fee to Bayern Munich was a staggering €75 million, enough to fund a small island nation’s soccer league. Coaching under Vincent Kompany, Diaz sticks to the left wing like superglue, playing alongside Harry Kane. Dietmar Hamann, Bayern and Liverpool alum, chimed in questioning Bayern’s strategy of spending big on a 28-year-old—implying that Liverpool might be chuckling all the way to the bank. Yet, despite Hamann’s monetary musings, all eyes are glued on Diaz’s Bundesliga adventure.
