Luis Diaz scored twice as Colombia stunned Brazil 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier, with his father watching in the stands days after he was released by kidnappers. We have always lived tough moments but life makes you strong and brave. So is soccer and so is life. We deserved this victory.” Luis Manuel Diaz, who had been held by the ELN guerrilla group for 12 days before being freed last week, wept as his son won the game for his country. Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli had put Brazil in front after just four minutes but the Selecao are now fifth in South…
Manchester City will be made to sweat on the fitness of Erling Haaland ahead of next weekend’s Premier League clash with Liverpool – after the forward aggravated an injury in Norway’s Euro 2024 qualifier win over the Faroe Islands. The 23-year-old, subbed on half-time in the 2-0 victory, left the field in discomfort at the end of the match after appearing to injure himself while stretching to connect with a cross from a team-mate in the 87th minute. Speaking after the game, national team doctor Ola Sand eased fears that Haaland could be set for an extended period on the sidelines, insisting…
Liverpool head to the Etihad on November 25 for their first game back after the international break, pitting first and second against each other. Jones, Gravenberch, Konate and Gomez are all expected back fit for the clash, with the hope being that no new injuries emerge in the coming days. For Man City, though, the break has already seen four players pull out of international duty due to injury – or so it is claimed, at least. Ederson, Nathan Ake, Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes all left their national teams, joining Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones and Sergio Gomez on the…
The Liverpool winger found the net twice in four minutes late in the second half to hand Colombia their first win over Brazil in eight years. After the match, Diaz said: “I thank God. He makes it all possible. “We have always lived tough moments but life makes you strong and brave. So is soccer and so is life. We deserved this victory.” Luis Manuel Diaz, who had been held by the ELN guerrilla group for 12 days before being freed last week, wept as his son won the game for his country. Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli had put Brazil in…
Diaz scored in the 75th and 79th minutes, as the home side overcame an early goal from Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli to win 2-1. It marked a historic result for Colombia, as they earned victory over Brazil for the first time since 2015 – and only the second time in 23 meetings over the last 32 years. For Diaz, who has emerged as a leader for his country and their most important player, the night was more significant as his parents were in attendance in Barranquilla. After being reunited with his mother and father earlier this week, following their kidnapping…
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Luis Diaz is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for a wide attacker ahead of the 2024 summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Liverpool attacker has thus emerged as a viable target. Luis Diaz has been a pivotal figure for Liverpool since arriving at Anfield from FC Porto in January 2022. The Merseyside club had shelled out €47 million to land the Colombian international, who has proven worthy of the investment. And apart from a few fitness issues, he has made his mark with top-notch…
The Nigerian is one of the best strikers in the world right now, and a number of top Premier League clubs are interested in signing him. Liverpool are said to be very keen, but the Evening Standard claim Osimhen is now open to joining Chelsea in one of the next two transfer windows. Liverpool were heavily linked with a move to sign Victor Osimhen last month. The Reds are said to be on the lookout to replace Mohamed Salah in 2024, with the Egyptian expected by many to move to Saudi Arabia at the end of this season. Instead of being linked…
Liverpool will not sign Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich. He’s 28 in January and Mo Salah is the best in the world in his position. That should clear it up, right? Not if you ask BILD‘s Christian Falk (not that you should), who brings the ‘news’ that Liverpool are supposedly interested in the ex-Man City winger. Falk claims that, as Liverpool and City both “have their eyes on him,” Bayern are “finally reacting” when it comes to talks over an extension to his contract, which runs 2025. Bayern suddenly have a “really good chance” of agreeing fresh terms with their No. 10. Funny that,…
An England U21 call-up has put Tyler Morton back on Liverpool supporters’ radar, and it’s a “measure of how well he’s done” on loan at Hull. Central midfield is a competitive area for Liverpool, with several talented youngsters knocking on Jurgen Klopp‘s door at the same time. Morton is one such player and has again been sent out on loan this season to hone his talents. Last year, he played 46 times for Blackburn as they missed out on the play-offs on goal difference. This time, the 21-year-old is back in the second division, playing for Hull and hoping he can work…
Reds teammates will once again be coming up against each other as World Cup qualifying in South America continues. Luis Diaz will be part of the Colombia squad for their qualifier at home to Alisson Becker’s Brazil in Barranquilla on November 16, before travelling to face Paraguay in Asuncion on November 21. Alisson and the Selecao then take on rivals Argentina and Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro on November 21. Mac Allister will also be part of the Argentina squad for their home game against Darwin Nunez’s Uruguay in Buenos Aires on November 16, with Nunez’s nation then taking on…
