Debut goal and first trophy: Diaz on his Bayern Munich bow | OneFootball

FC Bayern has made a perfect start to the new season. A new signing in particular provided plenty of talking points in the Supercup.

In his first competitive game for his new club, Luis Diaz set a strong exclamation mark against VfB Stuttgart. The Colombian winger not only celebrated his debut with a 2-1 win, but also scored himself and secured his first title right away. On ESPN, the 28-year-old was enthusiastic afterwards: "I'm very happy and satisfied with the course of the weekend. It was my first official game, my first goal and my first title. I've dreamed of coming here to achieve great things and give my best. I try to enjoy football."

Diaz convinced not only with his goal, but also with his team-oriented play. In the 24th minute, he saved with an energetic tackle in his own half, when the equalizer for VfB Stuttgart could have fallen.

Sports director Christoph Freund praised the performance of the new signing: "Luis did very well. He is known for being a goal threat. But he is also known for working a lot for the team." With 10.41 kilometers run, 13 duels won and a top speed of 32.7 km/h, he also statistically proved his qualities.

"It was a big risk"

The offensive player thanked the club for their support. "It was a big risk, and I'm very grateful to the management for approaching me and trusting me. It's always up to me to respond on the pitch and contribute what I can to be available to the coaching staff. Starting like this and being with my teammates is incredible," Diaz explained in an interview with ESPN.

Despite all the euphoria, the new signing knows that getting used to the team takes time. He has only been part of the team for about two weeks: "I've been with the club for about two weeks now and still need time to get used to it."

Diaz had also dealt intensively with the Bundesliga in advance. "I already knew the Bundesliga a bit. I love watching football and all competitions. I had the opportunity to talk to Florian [Wirtz] in Liverpool, and I know it's a physical league. I hope to celebrate a great debut," the new signing continued.
