Luis Diaz Fully Took The P**s Out Of Manchester City And Treated Wembley Like A FIFA Street Venue

Luis Diaz Fully Took The P**s Out Of Manchester City And Treated Wembley Like A FIFA Street Venue

He's a bit special, isn't he?

Luis Diaz solidified himself as Liverpool's showman with two pieces of skill in their FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp's side ran out 3-2 victors at Wembley to book a place in the FA Cup final for the first time in a decade.

The Reds were 3-0 up at halftime and Diaz was clearly enjoying himself.

Diaz's first bit of showboating came while 2-0 up, with Raheem Sterling the victim of a disgusting flick.

Fernandinho was forced to haul the Colombia international down, something that'd become the norm as the afternoon wore on.

Diaz was at it again and this time, Fernandinho felt his wrath as did Bernardo Silva.

The 25-year-old jinked his way past the pair with the ball stuck to his feet like superglue.

It's just majestic to watch.

Diaz arrived from Porto in January and he's already a fan favourite.

He's scored three times in 16 appearances and the energy on show is exactly what Klopp looks for in a player.

Supporters paid tribute to Diaz on social media and they're excited to see him develop in a Liverpool shirt.

One commented: "I watched many times to see how he did that, I didn't get how he did it."

Another tweeted: "He's a proper baller."

While a third added: "Showed Bernardo Silva how to dribble here."

Liverpool took the lead inside nine minutes through an Ibrahima Konate header, with the Frenchman scoring for a third consecutive game.

A moment of madness from City goalkeeper Zack Steffen allowed Sadio Mane to double his side's lead.

Steffen miscontrolled a back pass and failed to clear his lines.

Mane was able to close Steffen down and force the ball in, a stark contrast to last week's Premier League clash which saw Ederson coolly evade Diogo Jota in a similar position.

It was Mane on the scoresheet again just before the break with a lovely near-post volley.

City manager Pep Guardiola fielded a weakened side following Wednesday's dramatic Champions League quarter-final second leg tie with Atletico Madrid.

Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker picked up injuries in the dramatic 0-0 draw and played no part.

Jack Grealish netted two minutes into the second half to give Liverpool something to think about.

City would only make one change, Riyad Mahrez for Gabriel Jesus, as they look to manage player minutes.

Mahrez played a vital role late on as his cutback was turned home by Bernardo Silva in added time.

Liverpool would hold on for the win and they'll face one of Crystal Palace or Chelsea back at Wembley next month.
