Luis Díaz could not have asked for a better start in Germany.

On his debut for Bayern Munich, the Colombian winger showed why the club invested heavily in him this summer.

Supporters were eager to see how quickly he would settle into Vincent Kompany’s side, and his first outing gave them plenty of reason to be excited.

The match also carried extra weight for Bayern.

For Bayern Munich, it was another chance to prove their dominance and start strong under new manager Vincent Kompany.

For supporters of Liverpool, there was extra attention on the match because Luis Diaz made his first appearance for Bayern after leaving Anfield this summer.

When a player moves from the Premier League to the Bundesliga, there is always curiosity about how quickly he will adapt.

For Diaz, it was about more than just settling in.

This was his chance to make a statement on his debut and to show Bayern that their investment in him was the right call.

Liverpool fans, still adjusting to life without him, were watching closely.

Bayern Munich did not disappoint.

The Bundesliga champions defeated Stuttgart to claim the German Super Cup, and both Harry Kane and Luis Diaz were on the scoresheet.

Kane opened the scoring in the first half after capitalizing on a poor clearance, slotting the ball calmly into the bottom corner.

Diaz sealed the win in the 77th minute.

The Colombian winger rose to meet a cross from Serge Gnabry and headed home, marking a perfect start to his Bayern career.

It was his first goal since completing a £65.5m move from Liverpool on a four-year deal.

After scoring, Diaz chose a special way to celebrate.

He paid tribute to his former Liverpool teammate, Diogo Jota, who passed away in July along with his brother, Andre Silva.

Diaz honored him by replicating one of Jota’s trademark celebrations.

Stuttgart managed a late consolation when Jamie Leweling scored in stoppage time, but it was too little too late.

Bayern lifted the trophy for a record 11th time.

For Kane, it was another medal to add to his collection in Germany after ending his long wait for silverware last season.

For Diaz, it was the perfect beginning in Munich — and a reminder to Liverpool fans of the quality they have lost.
