"A Harry Kane penalty conversion and goal from Luis Díaz in the second half sealed the deal for Bayern Munich in their 2-0 win over RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena to book their place in the DFB-Pokal semifinals - somewhere they haven't been in six years. The last time the German Rekordmeister was in the German Cup semifinals was in the 2019/20 season, which was interrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic."
"We were criticized a bit at the beginning [for signing him], but we knew what we were doing. We were convinced he would fit us very well, not only with his goals and assists, but also his willingness and intensity. He showed that in Liverpool for years. We felt he was a great fit for the way we want to play football. He's a very good transfer. Maybe some people will backtrack now and say: okay, maybe it wasn't too bad," he stressed (via @iMiaSanMia)."
"The goal underlines just how crucial Lucho has been for the Bundesliga champions this season, especially when the context of the summer transfer window is taken into consideration. Bayern were certain they were going to land Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, but he chose Liverpool and Bayern wound up getting Díaz towards the end of the window for a fee of 70 million euros,"
Bayern Munich defeated RB Leipzig 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, courtesy of a Harry Kane penalty and a second-half goal from Luis Díaz. The victory secured Bayern's place in the DFB-Pokal semifinals for the first time in six years. Luis Díaz's strike brought his season tally to 19 goals across all competitions, highlighting his impact for the champions. Bayern pursued Florian Wirtz in the summer but signed Díaz for €70 million after Wirtz chose Liverpool, a transfer that faced early criticism. Max Eberl defended the signing, citing goals, assists, willingness, and intensity as justification.
