Luis Diaz It maintains the spotlight of German football and its high level is already making more noise among Europe’s elite. Lucho is a bastion of the highest level in Bayern Munich, which now sees another title to win this season: the German Cup, where it is already in the quarterfinals after eliminating the always fierce Union Berlin.
Everything starts from the continuity that it has in the Bayern Munich and ownership in the different tournaments, which guarantees a high level, even though the duel against Unión Berlin is the exception. In the German capital he could not show his difference from the wing and retired without goals or assists, although he had a goal disallowed for offside.
Basically, Unión Berlin did more merits for the elimination than Bayern Munich itself, It was not the avalanche that was expected and he was seen with little aggressiveness on the field of the German capital. Rather, two own goals by the local team accelerated their own defeat, beyond Leopold Querfeld’s double, which was not enough to tie and put pressure on. Harry Kane increased the lead to the final 3-2.
Nowhere did Luis Díaz appear in an issue that was becoming complicated for Bayern Munich. The own goals accelerated the fall of Unión Berlin, but without those details, the duel would be closer, where in key sections, such as against St. Pauli, the guajiro’s work began to be decisive. It seems that all this is very clear to coach Steffen Baumgart, who was self-critical at a press conference.
The reaction of the Unión Berlin coach after the fall against Luis Díaz’s Bayern
In his words, Baumgart confessed that the disappointment increases when he sees that his club performed well and that, once again, they were able to face the Bavarian machine (as happened in the 2-2 in the Bundesliga in the past). He believes they did well, beyond the own goals that condemned him.
“The disappointment is greater, especially because of the good performance. Despite the setbacks, we have done well, especially in the second half, and we have not given up. But in the end, unfortunately, it was not enough and that is why we are a little disappointed. Maybe tomorrow we can see it differently and say: it was not that bad,” said the Unión Berlin coach, who also worked in defense to stop Kane and Lucho and not give them space.
