Luis Diaz is excelling in his debut season with Bayern

The explosive former Liverpool forward, previously rumored to join Barcelona, insists that transferring to the Bavarian powerhouse was the ideal strategic career move. Having already tallied 19 goals and 12 assists across 32 games, he is thriving.
