Luis Diaz's performance sparks controversy; he received comment from Liverpool legend

After the doubts generated by Liverpool's return to Premier League activities after a draw against Brighton, the team led by Jürgen Klopp tried to turn the page with what could be considered one of their best games so far this season, winning in an authoritative manner in the third round of the Champions League against Rangers in Scotland.

The team performed well both individually and collectively, highlighting the great experience of the German tactician to innovate with these new tactical parados that benefited the entire attacking block, being the international with the selection of Colombia, Luis Diaz, one of the most influential during the 90 minutes both with his approaches to goal, his passes and his influence for the penalty that scored the final 2-0, being this accumulation of successes recognized by the former British footballer, Jamie Carragher.

The former England international's comments to CBC Sports put the Reds' fans' minds at rest, as the same fans have repeatedly been demeaning the work of the attacking unit and only comparing their performances to those of the Senegalese, with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and the most bombarded so far still Darwin Nunez being the culprits.

Carragher praised the work of Luis Díaz

The campaign may not have started in the best way for the Merseyside outfit, but beyond Jamie Carragher's praise, the Colombian has been one of the most productive and consistent performers of the 2022-2023 season from the outset,  And with this group response, his performances could raise his level even higher and turn him into that benchmark that makes you forget once and for all that past that had with the Senegalese attacker who lives a similar process but trying to make the Bavarians forget Robert Lewandowski.
