Diaz has started his Bayern career brilliantly, registering 11 goals and five assists in all competitions, including both goals in the team's win over Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain last week. Diaz's involvement in that game ended prematurely when he was sent off at the end of the first half, but he was back on the field for Bayern's game in Berlin on Saturday.



After the game, Kane, who rescued a point for Bayern in second-half stoppage time, praised Diaz for his brilliant strike. "He's been pulling stuff out like that all season, but I reckon that's probably his best."

At times last season, Slot rotated Gakpo and Diaz on the left wing, but Diaz's exit left Slot without a similar alternative to Gakpo in the first-team squad. Wirtz has faced criticism for his performances since moving to Anfield, but Reds boss Slot defended him ahead of Sunday's trip to Manchester City, after Arsene Wenger had said that Liverpool "destroyed" its midfield with the addition of the German.
