The Spanish legend took to social media to express his reaction to the Colombian's great goal
When Liverpool needed him most, Luis Díaz appeared like a hero. The Colombian put together one of the best goals of his career against Crystal Palace, when the Reds were playing with 10 men due to the expulsion of Darwin Nuñez, losing 1-0 and with little time left. The former Porto footballer saved Liverpool from defeat with a work-of-art goal.
The Colombian cut to the middle from the left, leaving three Crystal Palace players in the way and when he had a line of sight for the oal, he took out a spectacular right footed shot.

"World-class, a wonderful goal. And from that moment on it was a special game. That was us at home with an incredible atmosphere." said Jurgen Klopp about the goal after the match against Crystal Palace. But the Colombian also got the praises of Carles Puyol, who praised Díaz on his Twitter account.
Amazing Luis Diaz. %uD83D%uDE4C%uD83D%uDE4C

Now Luis Díaz will prepare for what will be a real test against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The forward is establishing himself as a starter, especially considering that Nuñez will not play for having seen the red card.
