He was the protagonist of this
PSG-Bayern contested under high tension, first by scoring a double to put his team on the path to victory (2-1), then by showing a much darker face after having made a killer tackle on Achraf Hakimi.
Excluded for this unspeakable gesture just before half-time, Luis Diaz was obviously not aware of the seriousness of his gesture at the time. And if the night can be any guide, the Colombian striker does not seem to have any scruples, except for having left his teammates with ten for the rest of the match.
While many observers were waiting for a message of apology, Luiz Diaz broke the silence, but his words were relatively sober. The Bayern winger did not give in to mea culpa. He just wished his opponent a good recovery.
Luis Diaz speaks
“It was a night full of emotions. Football always reminds us that in 90 minutes anything can happen, the best and the worst. I was sad not to finish the match with my teammates, but proud of their incredible effort. I wish Hakimi a quick return to the field,” we can read in a message posted on Luis Diaz’s Instagram account.
A speech which generated a big controversy. Many supporters criticize the attitude and communication of the Colombian striker, especially since his teammate Josip Stanišić made a joke in bad taste by declaring
“thanking Luis Diaz”.
