Amazing video of Luis Diaz's family following his journey shows what football is all about

Luis Diaz is living the dream right now.

Arriving halfway through a season at Liverpool that could well be remembered for decades to come, Diaz has slotted into Jurgen Klopp’s system as though he was born to do so.

Even world-class players like Andrew Robertson and Fabinho were eased into the team when they first arrived at Anfield, but Diaz has made an instant impact in the famous red jersey.

Having already lifted the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the 25-year-old has something of a Midas touch on Merseyside and has even chipped in with six goals and four assists for good measure.

Marry that to generally looking an absolute world-beater on the left wing – allowing Sadio Mane to thrive more centrally – and it’s fair to say that the Colombian star has the world at his feet.

All in all, it makes for a stunning success story regardless of Liverpool’s result in the Champions League final because Diaz has come so, so far to reach this stage from humble beginnings.

According to the BBC, Diaz grew up in one of Colombia’s most neglected regions, La Guajira, where 4,770 Wayuu children tragically died of malnutrition between 2008 and 2016.

One of Diaz’s earliest coaches even remarked how underweight the future Liverpool star looked when they met in 2015, remarking that the youngster “seemed to have malnutrition problems.”

The hardships that Diaz has had to overcome in his life really are unfathomable and to think that he’s made it all the way to a Champions League final through it all is nothing short of inspirational.

And nobody is prouder of the Reds winger than the people of his birth town, Barrancas, where the house of the Diaz-Brito family stands adorned with graffiti of him playing for Colombia.
