Luis Díaz is the man at the moment in Portugal, on account of the goal he scored for Sporting in the 1-1 draw this Saturday, in favor of the local league.
The funny thing is that he was about not to play and for coach Sérgio Conceição he was in doubt until the last moment, as he just arrived on Friday night in the country, after participating with the Colombia National Team in the Qualifiers in Qatar 2022, in which they reported with a goal for the 3-1 victory against Chile.
He took a charter flight from Barranquilla and was reported just in time for this key duel for his club.
This effort, this ability to recover and toast to his team even though he lacked rest, was what the Colombian’s critics and teammates acknowledged in Porto.
The team captain praised the Colombian for all he brings: “It’s the professionalism and passion to represent this club. We know the importance of wearing this shirt. It’s a pride to have players like him,” said Pep, multi-champion in his career and a very authoritative voice in Portugal.
Now Díaz’s challenge is none other than the Champions League, in which this Wednesday (2:00 pm Colombian time), Porto will visit none other than Atletico Madrid, in the Metropolitan Wanda.
