"I think it's because they have placed a tremendous amount of trust in me. From the first day, my teammates and the club also made me feel welcome very quickly, and even though learning the language is a little difficult they made me feel like part of the family. The truth is that with Bayern I have found a very united team, at ease -something I have always been used to and something I have always wanted. So that's why this has been very easy."
"I was also coming from good years at Liverpool, the final year especially, so playing in the Premier League really helped me. And for me I wanted a challenge and to play in the Bundesliga, try a new experience. I knew that I would do well. Obviously I didn't expect for me to do well so quickly but that's what I work for."
"Yes, completely. I feel more confident, more comfortable. And I also have a spectacular group [of teammates] where all of us play for the team. I mean, we have many stars! But we play more together and so that's very important as well."
Luis Díaz has contributed 18 goal involvements (12 goals, six assists) for Bayern Munich since departing Liverpool. He was given a short break after a sending off against PSG and returned to prepare for Bayern’s final 2025 match at Heidenheim. Díaz attributes rapid acclimation to the club’s trust, a welcoming squad, and a united, comfortable team environment despite language challenges. Strong recent seasons at Liverpool and a desire for a new challenge motivated the move to the Bundesliga. Díaz reports increased confidence and creative freedom under Vincent Kompany and notes teammates prioritize collective play. He looks ahead to next summer’s World Cup, including a match against Portugal.
