Luis Díaz declared his summer transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich a 'right choice' after his sensational season with the Bundesliga leaders. The Colombian forward has delivered 23 goals and 18 assists in 40 games since arriving for a reported €75 million ($87m) fee, including scoring Bayern's opener in their 2-1 Champions League quarterfinal first-leg win at Real Madrid. Díaz emphasized the team's strong chemistry and clear plan, stating, 'We're a very close-knit group, and that shows on the pitch.' Bayern hold a nine-point lead over Borussia Dortmund with six games remaining, are alive in the German Cup, and face Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinal on April 22.

However, Díaz admitted disappointment over missed chances against Real Madrid, acknowledging, 'We played a great match against a very tough opponent.' His comments come as Bayern aim to capitalize on their Champions League advantage before the return leg next week.
