It’s heartwarming to see the strong support and involvement of Luis Diaz’s father in his son’s football career. Despite the cold temperatures during the match against Luton Town, Luis Diaz’s father wore a short-sleeved Liverpool shirt and gloves, mirroring his son’s attire. This amusing sight caught the attention of fans, who commented on social media about his dedication.
The Diaz family went through a distressing experience towards the end of 2023 when both Luis Manuel and his wife were kidnapped. Fortunately, his wife was released shortly after, but Luis Manuel had to endure 13 days in captivity before his release. During this period, Luis Diaz missed games to support his family through the ordeal.
After their reunion, the family had the opportunity to witness their son’s success when he scored twice for Colombia in a remarkable 2-1 victory over Brazil. Since then, they have been spending a significant amount of time on Merseyside, showing their unwavering support for Luis Diaz’s career. In December, Diaz senior was even spotted celebrating Trent Alexander-Arnold’s equalizer for Liverpool against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
