After an extraordinary first season at Bayern Munich saw him rack up 26 goals and 23 assists in 51 games, Luis Diaz has only found the net once in six games since the 2026/27 season began.
In an interview with Sky Germany, the Colombian international underlined his desire to keep working hard, while expressing his clear conviction that he’ll soon end his four-game barren run in front of goal.
“I’ve always said that the desire will never be missing for me. The hunger for more – that will always be my mentality. I always want more, I always want to achieve more. No matter what happens – there may be times when I don’t play well, when I don’t score… but I will always give everything I have and do everything for the team, giving 101 percent on the pitch. The rest will come eventually, step by step," Diaz said.
"I’m looking for my best version and I’ll find it soon. I believe that goal will come in the next game. So you also have to stay calm, mentally, so that it doesn’t weigh on you. You have to keep working and improving. I know it’s just about finishing my chances. The only thing missing is the finishing, and then everything will be good.”
The 29-year-old is now hoping to get back on the scoresheet against 1. FC Union Berlin, who he scored the 2025 Goal of the Year in Germany against last season.
“It’s one of the best goals I’ve scored in my career. I don’t know if it’s number one, but it’s between that one and a goal I remember scoring for the national team, which was also an incredible goal,” Diaz said.
"But it’s one of those goals that gives me a lot of joy whenever I see it. Because it reminds me a lot of when I was younger, when I used to play football in the street as a kid. That was a street football goal. And I really enjoy watching that goal.”
