Diaz and Jota forged their connection at ليفربول, pulling on the famous red shirt side by side 73 times. Together, they played key roles at Merseyside and lifted the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز trophy under Arne Slot, cementing themselves as part of an unforgettable chapter in Anfield history. Away from the glare of competition, their relationship flourished too, with shared interests, especially in video games.
When Diaz made his competitive debut for بايرن ميونيخ in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup earlier this summer, he found a poignant way to honour Jota. After Harry Kane opened the scoring against نادي شتوتغارت, the winger added Bayern’s second by rising to head home a Serge Gnabry cross. Instead of a standard celebration, Diaz paused to emulate Jota’s trademark video-game pose near the byline.
Diaz is expected to feature when the Bavarians host Hamburger SV at the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening.
