Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz was not having a great game as the Champions League match vs. Real Madrid moved into its waning moments.

However, it has been impossible to count the Colombian star out this season because he never stops working and just never quits.

Real Madrid would find that out the hard way as Díaz hit a wonderful strike to temporarily knot the game at 3-3 (5-4 on aggregate) before Michael Olise would put the icing on the cake with another score to seal the deal. For Díaz, it was a goal that he will never forget.

“I think it’s in the top three, if not number one. Looking back at my important goals, this has been one of my favorites and the one with the most meaning, given the moment in the game. It was a very complicated game, we needed the result and, thank God, I was able to score that nice goal to help the team advance to the next round,” Díaz told ESPN Colombia (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Díaz’s goal was a perfect example of the mindset that this team has and why it has become one of the best — if not the best — in the world this season. One? Two? Three? Ultimately, the ranking does not matter, as it will surely be a moment that Díaz remembers forever.
