Luis Diaz’s much-anticipated debut for Bayern Munich has sent ripples through the German sports media, drawing widespread acclaim and immediate analysis of his significant impact on the pitch.

The Colombian international, now donning the number 14 jersey for the Bundesliga giants, entered the fray as a half-time substitute, quickly demonstrating why the club invested heavily in his talents.

Within a mere fifteen minutes of his introduction, Diaz proved instrumental, earning a crucial penalty that was expertly converted by teammate Olise, providing Bayern with the decisive lead.

Beyond the penalty incident, the former Liverpool winger showcased remarkable efficiency in his play, boasting an impressive 93% pass completion rate and registering two shots on target during his dynamic 45-minute performance.

Despite not completing either of his two attempted dribbles against Lyon, Diaz’s aggressive forward runs consistently drew fouls, underscoring his ability to disrupt opposition defenses and create advantageous situations for Bayern Munich.

Leading German publication BILD was quick to weigh in, remarking: “First win in Luis Diaz’s first game – and the first conclusion about Diaz; The youngster is fun to play, causing quite a stir on the left flank. This quickly silences all critics who consider his mega-transfer fee far too high.”

While acknowledging that his inaugural outing for Bayern might not have been flawless, the consensus among German media outlets was overwhelmingly positive, recognizing his persistent effort to generate scoring opportunities and provide assists.

Even when met with stern resistance from Lyon’s defense, Diaz’s commitment to attacking play remained evident, leaving observers with a clear impression of a promising start to his Bundesliga career.
