Luis Díaz's agenda with Bayern Munich after closing the year with the Colombian National Team

Luis Diaz returns to Europe after the Colombian National Team’s double matchday against New Zealand and Australia, in which they closed the year with a goal—a powerful left-footed shot against the Oceanic team—and good feelings heading into the World Cup 2026. Now, the guajiro returns to focus on the day-to-day life ofl Bayern Munich, where it has been decisive, although with an important novelty: He will not be able to be in the attractive Champions League duel against Arsenal due to the red card he received in the match against PSG.

The Colombian will face this final stretch of 2025 with an agenda packed exclusively in German territory. There will be three Bundesliga games and one for the German Cup, a key period for Bayern to maintain its leadership and for Díaz to continue consolidating himself in Vincent Kompany’s eleven. The first match will be on Saturday, November 22 against Freiburg, a duel to which he arrives with the confidence of his last great technical gesture in Germany: the great goal against Union Berlin in the 2-2 draw before the international break.

A week later, on Saturday, November 29, Bayern will host St. Pauli, an uncomfortable rival that has surprised several big teams this season. Díaz is usually a first baseman in this type of match and, with the Bundesliga still undefeated, the Bavarian attack will depend a lot on its imbalance. Then it will be the turn of the German Cup: on Wednesday, December 3, they will meet Union Berlin againnow for the round of 16, in a tournament that Bayern wants to recover after irregular seasons and in which Díaz could assume an important role.

The section will close on Saturday, December 6 against Stuttgart, one of the most competitive teams in the league in recent years. Individually, the Colombian’s season has been outstanding. He has accumulated 17 official matches, 11 goals, 5 assists, four yellow cards and one expulsion, the one already mentioned against PSG, in addition to 1,334 minutes played. In the Bundesliga he registers 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 games, while in the Champions League he has 3 goals in 4 games.

Although he will miss the visit to London to face Arsenal, Díaz will have four games in a row in German territory to close the year at a high level, maintain his competitive pace and reach 2026 with sufficient momentum to continue being one of the figures of Bayern and the National Team. The guajiro returns with a solid present, a recent goal with Colombia and an ideal schedule to continue growing.
