The year 2025 has been nothing short of transformative for Luis “Lucho” Diaz. From the historic docks of Liverpool to the modern skyline of Munich, the Colombian winger has solidified his status as one of the world’s most elite and versatile attackers. These are Colombia’s Luis Diaz 2025 highlights.
This year, Diaz didn’t just play football; he conquered new territories, completed a trophy “grand slam” in England, and embarked on a high-stakes adventure in the Bundesliga.
The grand finale at Anfield: Premier League glory
The first half of 2025 saw Colombia’s Luis Diaz reach the pinnacle of English football. Under the management of Arne Slot, who had taken over from Jürgen Klopp, Díaz adapted to a more central attacking role, proving to be a masterstroke for the Reds.
The highlight of his season came in April and May 2025, as Liverpool secured the Premier League title with four matches to spare.
Diaz was instrumental in this campaign, finishing his final season at Liverpool with 13 league goals and five assists. His hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and his brace at Old Trafford earlier in the season remain etched in the memories of the Anfield faithful.
By winning the league, Diaz completed a rare feat: winning every major domestic trophy available during his 3 1/2-year stay in England.
A summer of change: the move to Bayern Munich
After 148 appearances and 41 goals for Liverpool, Diaz sought a new challenge. In July 2025, Bayern Munich announced the signing of the Colombian star for a fee reported at £65.5 million (about US$88 million).
Díaz’s departure was emotional, marked by a heartfelt Instagram post where he expressed his pride in everything achieved with his “fabulous colleagues.”
He took the number 14 shirt at the Allianz Arena, arriving with the ambition to continue his streak of winning domestic titles in every country he has played in professionally (Colombia, Portugal, and England).
Dominating the Bundesliga
If there were any doubts about how “Lucho” would adapt to German football, he silenced them within weeks. By late 2025, Diaz has become the driving force behind Bayern’s unbeaten start to the 2025/26 season.
Goals and assists: As of December 2025, he has recorded 11 goals and 5 assists in just 18 matches for the German giants.
Player of the month: His explosive form earned him the Bayern Player of the Month award for November.
Tactical impact: Known for his relentless work rate and flair, he has transformed Bayern’s left wing, ranking among the top players in the league for “offensive actions” and “creating big chances.”
National team and personal milestones
On the international stage, Diaz remains the heartbeat of the Colombian National Team. Earlier in the year, his clinical penalty against Costa Rica helped guide Colombia to the knockout stages of the Copa America.
Beyond the pitch, 2025 brought joy to his personal life. In December, Diaz and his sentimental partner, Gera Ponce, shared the news that they are expecting their third child, a son, adding a “blessed” chapter to an already historic year.
As 2025 draws to a close, Luis Diaz stands as a symbol of consistency and ambition. Whether it was lifting the Premier League trophy in May or tearing through Bundesliga defenses in December, the “Guajiro” has proven that his talent knows no borders.
He will also be one of the most closely watched players in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
