Luis Diaz’s highlights against Bayern Munich have gone viral, he is getting back to his best

A compilation of Luis Diaz’s performance during Liverpool’s pre-season clash against Bayern Munich has emerged.

Having thrashed Leicester City 4-0 last time out, Liverpool were hoping to continue their pre-season tour of Singapore with a victory against Bayern.

However, despite leading 2-0 and then 3-2, Jurgen Klopp’s men were eventually beaten 4-3 by the German Bundesliga champions.

Despite the defeat, there were some positives for Klopp to take away, especially the performance of Diaz.

The Colombian missed a large part of the 22/23 season through a knee injury but looked like he is getting back to his best ahead of the new campaign.

In his 45-minute cameo, Diaz showed some great touches and scored a fantastic goal to give Liverpool a 3-2 lead.

Since arriving on Merseyside from Portuguese outfit FC Porto for a deal worth up to £49 million, Diaz quickly cemented himself into Klopp’s plans.

To date, the 26-year-old has made 47 appearances for the club, scoring 11 and assisting eight.

Reds boss Klopp was also full of praise after Diaz’s performance against Leicester on Sunday.

He said: “It’s good. The boys have to perform. That area is massive, they are all top-class players and Lucho is obviously looks sharp, looks fresh, looks fast like hell. You can really give him the ball and the outcome will be there. Either he can provide something or he can finish it off himself.

“In one situation, the finish was not perfect but the movement was completely free and we could come down there and he could choose left or right. A lot of good things, sensational atmosphere and the level of appreciation, rather from us, is really special. All the people are great here - good day.”

Liverpool will take on Darmstadt next Monday before starting their Premier League campaign against Chelsea on 13 August.
