Liverpool Fans Slammed For 'Offensive' Luis Diaz Banner Which Also Contains A Mistake

"Well done. You managed to insult Luis Díaz’s country twice."

Liverpool fans have created a new banner for Luis Diaz - but some believe it's 'offensive' to the winger's home country of Colombia.

Diaz arrived from Porto in January and is already a fan favourite at Anfield, scoring six goals and providing five assists in 25 appearances.

The 25-year-old will be hoping to make an impact in Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid and supporters decided to try and show their support.

A new banner posted to Twitter reads: "Only Columbia's [sic] finest gets through Liverpool customs."

While the intentions were pure at heart, many online aren't too pleased with the message it sends.

The reference to customs appears to be linked to Colombia's reputation of homing cocaine barons and the illegal drug trade.

In addition to that, Colombia is spelt 'Columbia' on the banner, which isn't the correct spelling for the country.

It's the spelling of Columbia Sportswear and Columbia University instead.

Supporters on social media have had their say on the banner and aren't fans.

One commented: "Well done. You managed to insult Luis Diaz’s country twice. By misspelling Colombia and stereotyping the nation into this drug-infested country cause you get all your cultural lessons from Narcos."

Another said: "With respect, this is national stereotyping that Diaz would hate."

A third tweeted: "I just hope Luis doesn't see this."

While someone said: "So inappropriate…"

Diaz's move to Liverpool is prepping for life after Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who will both be 30 at the start of the next campaign.

Salah has one year remaining on his contract and intends to fulfil his deal. It's unknown where his future lies, however, and he continues to be linked with moves abroad.

Mane, meanwhile, gave a cryptic response when asked about his future earlier this week.

The Senegal international has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich and refused to rule out a move.

He said: "I think the question is a very good question, for now it’ll be difficult for me to answer.”

"But for sure I am very focused on the Champions League. Ask me the question after the Champions League, I will answer you."
