Diaz hints Olise duo could reboot Bayern’s golden era, with a wink to Robben-Ribéry

Diaz Reflects on the Olise Partnership and the Robben-Ribéry Era

Colombian star Luis Diaz, Bayern Munich winger, says his move from Liverpool to the German giant was the right decision for his family and his career, despite language challenges.

In an exclusive Sky Sports interview, he discusses the attacking partnership with young French star Michael Olise, a duo that evokes memories of the Robben-Ribéry era that once dominated German and European football.

When asked about comparing his current pairing with Olise to the Robben-Ribéry duo, Diaz answered with humility: "I don’t know; these comparisons aren’t always good, but what I can say is that Robben and Ribéry did amazing things here."

Diaz added that he used to watch them on television and described their play as "always brilliant," adding that simply sharing a lineup with those legends fills him with pride, even as he focuses on helping the team rather than chasing comparisons.

He did not spare Olise's praise, calling him a player who "tears opponents apart in one-on-one battles."

He notes Olise's calm demeanor and constant communication on the pitch, focusing on precise defensive and offensive details to help the group grow.

He also described playing alongside Englishman Harry Kane as an exceptional experience, calling him the "machine" who impresses him daily in training with his finishing and movement across the pitch.

Diaz wrapped up by pledging to repay Bayern's trust through continued excellence at the Allianz Arena.

Punchline 1: Diaz’s finishes are so precise that even the net files a complaint for unfair competition.

Punchline 2: If Diaz keeps this up, Bayern might need a bigger trophy cabinet and a bigger coffee machine to power through all the celebrations.
