Emotions were high in the stands as Liverpool player, Luis Diaz’s father joyously celebrated his son’s match-winning goals against Brazil.
It had been extremely testing times for the Columbian’s family with Luis Manuel Diaz Jimenez held hostage by the ELN for almost 2 weeks.
After Luis Diaz’s public appeal to free his father, the ELN agreed to a few terms and conditions with the Columbian government.
The winger still played for the Reds, away from his family in Columbia, and helped the Reds secure a point against Luton Town. He also displayed a message beneath his jersey asking for his father to be freed.
Moreover, the family was reunited with Diaz’s father and attended the game against Brazil. The Liverpool winger was in top form as he scored twice to secure a comeback win against Brazil.

What potential next Liverpool signing did against Luis Diaz – Is the signing process still on?
Darwin Nunez has been amazing for Uruguay and so has Luiz Diaz for Columbia. Although Mac Allister has not been at his best, he will surely bounce back. Should this continue, the Reds could beat the Treble winners and go on top of the table on Saturday.
