It appears it has, with the record champions finding themselves in a bit of a rut.However, as teenage sensation Estevao was twisting the dagger into Liverpool’s back at Stamford Bridge, around 600 miles away, a former Liverpool star was rubbing the salt into Slot’s wounds.

Before the break, Diaz had registered another goal contribution by laying the ball off to Harry Kane, whose rocketed an effort into the back of the net.Luis Diaz has impressed since joining Bayern Munich from Liverpool (Image: Getty)He wasn’t done there though, as Diaz added a third for Bayern with six minutes to play, taking his entire tally for the season to a whopping six goals and four assists across all competitions. It’s safe to say that Diaz has hit the ground running in Munich, which will only heighten the frustration from a Liverpool perspective, given their attacking woes.Alexander Isak is yet to score a goal in the Premier League or Champions League, while Florian Wirtz’s only goal contribution of any kind came in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace.
