Luis Díaz began his scoring streak in the 2024-2025 season with Liverpool FC with the goal against Brentford in the 13th minute at Anfield Road. The Colombian was chosen as a starter for the second consecutive game by Arne Slot and in the first clear goal opportunity for the ‘Reds’ he was in charge of opening the scoring.
The goal came after a counterattack led by Diogo Jota who started the run from his own half and once Luis Díaz marked the diagonal between the rival defenders, he assisted the Colombian to enter the area and finish at the right hand post of the rival goalkeeper, who could do nothing against the power of the shot.

The Colombian continued to be the star player in Liverpool’s attack throughout the match, and his performance was rewarded in the second half when he received the ball and immediately set up Mohamed Salah in the 70th minute to celebrate the 2-0 final score. Díaz’s pass was well-timed to prevent the Egyptian from being caught offside and give the Reds their second win of the season.

Arne Slot chose to give the Colombian a rest after the goal, who was applauded by the more than 60,000 people in attendance at Anfield Road and recognised as the most important player of the match in the broadcast. Since the Dutchman took over as coach, seven games have been played, all of which ended in victory for Liverpool and he has only conceded goals in two, both in pre-season: vs. Sevilla (4-1) and vs. Arsenal (2-1).
Liverpool’s next game, in the third round of the Premier League, will be one of the classics of English football against Manchester United. The duel is scheduled for Sunday 1st September at 10:00 in the morning at the legendary Old Trafford. The match represents a fight between two different teams, while the Reds have a perfect start, only surpassed by Brighton and Arsenal on goal difference; the Red Devils lost their previous match with a goal in the 95th minute.

Ahead of their clash with Brentford on Sunday 25 August, Liverpool FC publicly praised Colombian footballer Luis Díaz for reaching a significant milestone in his career: 100 appearances for the club. The Merseyside outfit posted a message highlighting this important achievement on their social media channels, accompanied by an image of the player with the message: “100 games in Lucho’s red shirt!”
Luis Díaz, originally from La Guajira, arrived at Liverpool in 2021 and quickly established himself as a key figure in the team. This achievement places him in a prominent position within the club, known worldwide as one of the most prestigious in international football. His statistics with Liverpool indicate that in 100 matches he has accumulated 25 goals and 12 assists. In addition, he has been champion of the League Cup on two occasions (2021-2022 and 2023-2024); of the FA Cup in his first year.
Liverpool Echo reported that the English club have set a price tag of over €80 million for Diaz’s transfer. This market value reflects the club’s intention to keep the player in their ranks unless a substantial offer arrives to tempt them into a negotiation. Despite strong rumours linking him with Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the past, such speculation seems to have been put to rest.
For now, no concrete offer has reached Liverpool’s offices for Díaz to remain with the team. His role in the English team has been crucial, and his presence is highly valued by both the technical staff and his teammates.
