Bayern Munich with Luis Díaz and Bayern Munich without Luis Díaz are two different beasts.
Against St. Pauli, fans got to see the beast we’ve all come to love, the Bayern with ‘Lucho’. The Colombian winger produced another spellbinding performance in the white and red of Bayern, picking up one goal and an assist.

“Lucho has got a kind of ‘chaotic creativity’,” Kompany explained (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “He can always do something in chaos. As a defender, I always found it uncomfortable to play against such players because you never know whether you have the ball under control or he has it. He kept his head up while on the ground and played a great pass. He did the exact same move in training yesterday. That’s a quality of his.”
If ‘Lucho’ is chaos then bring on the chaos. That’s the exact x-factor Bayern was missing against Arsenal. Let’s cross fingers the 28-year-old’s three match Champions League suspension is shortened. Bayern will certainly need Díaz’s ‘chaotic energy’ against the likes of Sporting CP and Union Saint-Gilloise.
