Former Everton star sent two words to sum up the dynamic Liverpool forward
James Rodriguez, a former player for Everton, compliments Luis Diaz of Liverpool on social media.
Luis Diaz, a standout forward for Liverpool, displayed his skill in an exciting match at the London Stadium by playing the entire 90 minutes for Colombia in their thrilling 1-0 triumph over Spain. The game’s lone goal was scored by Daniel Munoz, and Diaz’s assist proved to be the game’s pivotal moment.
After deftly latching onto a long pass from Rodriguez, Diaz easily avoided Spain defender Dani Vivian, setting up his assist. Munoz was perfectly placed to receive Diaz’s deft cross into the box, and he skillfully volleyed the ball into the net to seal Colombia’s triumph.
Following the game, Diaz took to social media to express his joy and celebrate the hard-fought win, praising the performances of his teammates. His impactful contribution on the field undoubtedly played a pivotal role in Colombia’s success against a strong Spanish side.
“We continue to grow as a group. This is the way to fight for important things. Let’s go Colombia.”
Diaz assisted Munoz for his wonderful win for Columbia
Colombian hero James Rodriguez, who departed Everton in 2021 to join Al-Rayyan in Qatar, responded to Diaz’s social media post with a succinct yet powerful message (h/t Liverpool Echo): “Que jugador,” meaning “What a player.” This praise from his compatriot underscores Diaz’s exceptional talent and impact on the field.
Despite concerns over a possible injury following his extended playing time for Liverpool in the FA Cup loss to Manchester United, Diaz quickly alleviated any worries with his impressive performance for Colombia against Spain. Jurgen Klopp had expressed apprehension about Diaz’s fitness after the match, but his active participation in Colombia’s training sessions shortly after provided reassurance.
With the 27-year-old’s standout display against Spain, any lingering concerns about his fitness have now been dispelled. His resilience and stellar performance demonstrate his importance both for Liverpool and the Colombian national team, reaffirming his status as a top-class player on the international stage.
Diaz played full 90 minutes of game-time against Spain
Following his full 90-minute performance against Spain, it remains uncertain how extensively Diaz will feature in Colombia’s upcoming friendly against Romania at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on Tuesday night. His participation may be managed carefully, considering his recent workload and the need to balance his fitness for both club and country commitments.

Liverpool may have some concerns about Diaz’s fitness, especially considering his recent extensive game time with the Colombian national team. With crucial matches on the horizon for the club, including the upcoming fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield next Sunday, it’s imperative that Diaz returns to Liverpool in good physical condition.
The Reds will likely monitor his fitness closely and manage his workload to ensure he is ready for the challenges ahead in both domestic and European competitions.
