The transfer of Luis Diaz from Liverpool is being seen as one of the biggest mistakes the Merseyside club has made in recent years, especially as the Colombian striker has been in explosive form for Bayern Munich.
Following Diaz's brilliant performance against PSG in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on the morning of April 29th, the wave of criticism directed at Liverpool has been increasing. Former player Jamie Carragher frankly expressed his bewilderment. He believes Diaz is the type of player who shouldn't be sold, because his exceptional qualities are very difficult to find in the transfer market.
"You'll never get bored watching 90 minutes with Diaz on the pitch. He always makes a difference," Carragher commented.

The facts are proving that assessment to be entirely justified. In the match against PSG, Diaz was very active with 67 touches, 16 appearances in the penalty area, 6 successful dribbles, and 1 goal. Not only did he contribute directly to the attack, but he also actively supported the defense with 4 ball recoveries and 4 free kicks.
In this season's Champions League alone, Diaz has contributed to 10 goals, including 7 goals. Across all competitions, the numbers are even more impressive: 26 goals and 17 assists in 46 matches, playing a major role in helping Bayern win two titles and continue to compete in both domestic and European competitions.
It's worth noting that Diaz not only maintained consistent form but also frequently shone in big matches. He made his mark from the German Super Cup final, domestic cup competitions to the Champions League, including clashes against top opponents like Real Madrid.
Therefore, many believe that Liverpool's loss of a player like Diaz is "unacceptable." Numerous fans have even called on the club's management to take responsibility for this decision, as the team has lost a star who could make a difference at the highest level.
At 29, Diaz has not only solidified his position among the world's top attacking players but is also being mentioned as a potential candidate for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. What he is demonstrating at Bayern is a resounding affirmation: Liverpool made a mistake letting him go.
