Luis Diaz received over 130,000 votes for his goal from Sportschau viewers and users and won the Goalscorer of the Month award for November 2025, well ahead of second-placed Dennis Undav (approx. 90,000). Lineth Beerensteyn from VfL Wolfsburg came third with 22,000 votes.
There are goals that are so incredibly good, so spectacular, so breathtaking that you don’t care at all which team they are scored for. Luis Diaz’s goal to make it 1-1 in the Bundesliga game against Union Berlin definitely belongs in this category. You don’t have to be a Bayern fan to find what the Colombian showed in the 38th minute of the game simply wonderful. And so Union coach Steffen Baumgart went into raptures after the game and called the goal “Unbelievable!” and “Simply world class!”.
Genius and madness
The campaign looks rather unsuccessful at the beginning. Diaz plays a one-two with teammate Josip Stanic, but his ball comes back imprecisely and far too long. Stanic even throws his hands over his head because of his supposedly sloppy passing. But Diaz, who is known to combine genius and madness, is a player who can turn crap into gold. And so the Colombian national player energetically pursues the ball, just barely spies it from the baseline, turns while still sliding towards the goal, stands up in a single fluid movement, takes the ball with him, leaves Berlin’s Jannik Harberer standing, and then shoots the ball into the net from eight meters and an impossible angle.
Unique gate
Incredible! And absolutely unique in its creation. Even for goal of the month nerds, it’s difficult to remember a goal that’s nearly as cool. Perhaps Günter Netzer’s volley free kick in March 1973 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s overhead kick from 25 meters in November 2012 are comparable in their uniqueness.
But one thing is certain: Diaz’s goal is one of the most beautiful goals in Bundesliga history and is an absolute hot contender for the title of “Goal of the Year 2025”.
The 67th TdM for Bayern
Luis Diaz is moving from Liverpool to Bayern at the beginning of the season for a fee of 75 million. He is the third Colombian to join Munich after Adolfo “El Tren” Valencia (1993/94) and James Rodríguez (2017 – 2019). For the speedy winger, the goal against Union was the sixth goal of the 25/26 season, but his first goal of the month. One would like to bet that more will follow. For FC Bayern Munich, this is the 67th goal of the month in the 55-year history of this competition.
