Luis Díaz is just a few hours away from playing a new Champions League match with Liverpool. After his brilliant game against Benfica, in the recent match of the tournament, in which he scored his first goal in the legendary competition with the ‘reds’, the expectations for the peasant are getting higher and higher.
In the run-up to the first semifinal match against Villareal, Virgil Van Djik, the bastion of Klopp’s team’s defense, highlighted ‘Lucho’s’ performance.
“He is a footballer with a lot of danger. He is capable of producing very dangerous moments with his overflow and his creativity. The other day he gave an assist, he scored. And he has only been here two months,” said the center-back.
Now, a few minutes before the ball rolls, the former Brazilian soccer player Rivaldo was the one who gave him his accolade. In his opinion, Diaz “will play a decisive role in the semifinals of the Champions League.”
‘You can expect everything from him’
“How important can Luis Diaz be for Liverpool in the Champions League in these semi-finals?” Rivaldo was asked in an interview with a sponsor.
“Given the way he plays and the confidence he has shown since he came to the team, I’m sure he will play a decisive role in the Champions League semi-finals. He is a great player and everything can be expected from him so that he leads Liverpool along with the rest of that star squad to a long-awaited final,” replied the former Brazilian player.

Then, consulted about the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City, the man who shone in the Barcelona shirt said:
“Looking at the squads, I would say that Man City is the favourite, however, you have to see that Real Madrid have a lot of experience in this tournament. In addition, they have a very experienced coach who has won the Champions League for different clubs. Madrid even they’ve shown their class by knocking out PSG and Chelsea, so it’s hard to pick a favourite.. But looking at just the players one by one, I would put City at an advantage.“.
