Luis Diaz on his first memories of Bayern: “There was a player called Schweinsteiger or something, right?”

New FC Bayern signing Luis Díaz has reflected on his earliest memories of the Bavarian club.

Over the summer, Luis Diaz joined Bayern Munich from Liverpool in a €70 million deal.

In an interview with the club’s ’51’ magazine, the Colombian international discussed a wide range of topics, including his first memories of FC Bayern.

Wing wizards Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry – together known as ‘Robbery’ – made a lasting impression on him, as did Bayern’s 2–1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final 12 years ago.

“I’ve always watched a lot of football. When I’m at home, I watch everything. My first memories of FC Bayern are of (Arjen) Robben and (Franck) Ribéry,” Diaz said.

“And then there was a player called Schweinsteiger or something, right? I remember the 2013 Champions League final, when Bayern beat Dortmund, very well. That left an impression on me.”

The 28-year-old striker has hit the ground running at Bayern, racking up three goals and two assists in his first four games.
