Luiz Diaz has opened up on his electrifying start at Bayern Munich after calling time on his Liverpool career this summerArne Slot’s new-look Liverpool side might be continuing to gel together on the pitch, but it is a different story for one of their Premier League champions who left the Reds this summer. Luis Diaz called time on his Anfield career back in July as he completed a £65.5m switch to Bayern Munich.The Colombian has enjoyed a flying start to his life in Germany, returning four goals and three assists from his first eight outings for the Bavarians.
This included the winning goal on his debut to help Bayern win the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, and a goal and two assists on his Bundesliga debut against RB Leipzig.Shining in attack alongside Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry, the quartet have already scored a whopping 26 goals between them from just eight matches.READ MORE: Federico Chiesa trains alongside Hugo Ekitike after Liverpool recall as injured striker missingREAD MORE: Marc Guehi makes new Liverpool claim after collapsed transfer - and it speaks volumesWith Bayern winning all of their outings so far this season, netting 30 times and only failing to score more than twice on one occasion, it’s safe to say both Diaz and Vincent Kompany’s side are flying high.Diaz has now opened up on his start at Bayern as he paid tribute to his team-mates for helping him settle in quickly both on and off the pitch.“The team makes it very easy for me on the pitch,” he told BILD, as quoted by Sport Witness.
