MUNICH, GERMANY - APRIL 15: Luis Diaz of FC Bayern Munich celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Quarter-Final Second Leg match between FC Bayern München and Real Madrid CF at Football Arena Munich on April 15, 2026 in Munich, Germany.

However, it has been impossible to count the Colombian star out this season because he never stops working and just never quits. Real Madrid would find that out the hard way as Díaz hit a wonderful strike to temporarily knot the game at 3-3 (5-4 on aggregate) before Michael Olise would put the icing on the cake with another score to seal the deal. For Díaz, it was a goal that he will never forget.
“I think it’s in the top three, if not number one. Looking back at my important goals, this has been one of my favorites and the one with the most meaning, given the moment in the game. It was a very complicated game, we needed the result and, thank God, I was able to score that nice goal to help the team advance to the next round,” Díaz told ESPN Colombia (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ).
Díaz’s goal was a perfect example of the mindset that this team has and why it has become one of the best — if not the best — in the world this season. One? Two?
