Although Liverpool are in hospital at the moment, several of the players who have been regular starters took a look at the UEFA Champions League round of 16 fixtures and were excited to see that their opponents will be none other than Real Madrid, giving them the motivation to get back on the pitch quickly and be ready for the game in mid-February.
One of the players who is already beginning to outline his return to the fields for the month of December once the World Cup is over, is the Colombian international, Luis Diaz, who has a special desire to face Real Madrid and show why he quickly earned an important position in one of the most important clubs in Europe after his brief stint at Porto in 2019.
Carragher predicts Liverpool humiliation over VARdrid, the sizzling message he sent to a Reds star
When the elite of world football are pitted against a slightly inferior team either financially or in terms of football, there is a certain extra motivation when it comes to a match, this duel being no exception, which already has a not-so-graceful history for the Reds in recent years, with players like Luis Diaz wanting to take advantage of the opportunity and shut out a high calibre team, showing those players that outside the white institution there is also great talent that does not need the millions of euros to be able to achieve great feats.
Although a life full of luxuries like that of Vinicius Junior or a salary that exceeds one million euros a month like that of Karin Benzema are great attractions for a player to focus on fulfilling the objectives of an institution, Luis Diaz only needs 700 thousand euros a month to think about achieving all possible titles as a Liverpool player, although for this, he must first continue to work hard on his recovery and thus be able to rejoin the first team before Boxing Day where they will face Aston Villa.
Since Diaz's arrival at Liverpool last season, the attacking midfielder has been adapting by leaps and bounds to the English competition, so much so that for this 2022-2023 season he was for many games the best man that Klopp had on the pitch, being a vital piece in the attack that complemented to perfection those attacks made by Mohamed Sah, Roberto Firmino or Darwin Nunez.
