Even the captain of the Colombian National Team couldn’t hold back. Liverpool FC showed a great performance in the derby against Manchester United, with Luis Diaz shining as one of the standout players. James Rodriguez didn’t hesitate and came up with the perfect word to describe the performance.

The respect between these two is on another level, and once again, it was evident. ‘Lucho’ Díaz had previously said during the 2024 Copa America, after reaching the final, that ‘I told James that since the moment I joined the national team, he has always been my idol.’ And when he learned about the new team of the Colombian No. 10, he responded with an epic reaction.

With a resounding “let’s go, star,” Diaz reacted to James Rodriguez‘s move to Rayo Vallecano, and the moment for the midfielder to acknowledge the winger’s level was about to arrive. It all started when ‘Lucho’ celebrated his 100th game for Liverpool with a goal against Brentford on the second matchday of the 2024-25 Premier League season.

James responded with a “what a player” and a heart-eyed emoji on Luis Diaz’s Instagram post, which garnered over 6,000 likes. Then came a legendary setting in England—Old Trafford—where Diaz’s two-goal performance elicited a reaction even from the captain of the Colombian national team.

In the 33rd minute of the first half against Manchester United, a header from ‘Lucho’ Díaz opened the scoring. Seven minutes later, Diaz scored again with a play he initiated, created, and finished himself. After recovering the ball from Casemiro, he passed to Mohamed Salah and then finished with his right foot for his second goal of the match.
