Luis Diaz is reminiscent of Diogo Jota after his goal

Homage of dead ex-colleagues

Luis Diaz with emotional gesture after his goal

After his goal against Stuttgart, Bayern newcomer Luis Diaz caused goosebumps in the stadium. He cheered in a very special way.

Luis Diaz not only gave a good debut with his goal in the Super Cup game against Stuttgart, but also demonstrated human class. Liverpool’s transfer made the victory of Bayern perfect with a header in the 77th minute, even if the Stuttgart team later made a connection goal.

The Colombian celebrated his goal in the first competitive game. He sat on the floor on the corner flag and held his hands as if he was holding a game controller. The gesture had a special meaning: Diogo Jota had cheered during his lifetime, who died in a car accident on July 3. Jota and Diaz had played together at Liverpool. Diaz obviously thought of his late teammates with the gesture.

Liverpool’s newcomer Hugo Ekitiké also celebrated his goal in this way on Friday. The Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota had a fatal accident in his homeland in his home country at the beginning of July. His brother Andre Silva was also sitting in the car. In addition to his success on the square, Jota was also a successful gamer. At times he was number 1 on FIFA 21st Champions Leaderboard and had his own eSports team. He celebrated his goals by sitting down and pretending to be playing on a console. His death shocked the football world. This is probably why players like Diaz are reminiscent of him.
