Just a few days after the team has been resettled for pre-season, Liverpool's star players continue to shine around the world. This time it was Luis Diaz with Colombia, playing 73 minutes in the 1-0 win over Iraq at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia. Although the Guajiro did not score a goal, his performance was one of his best.

According to the app FotMob, a 7.2 rating was given to the Red's striker, who delighted the crowd with a tremendous dribble, which Twitter user Pass Like Thiago shared on social media. The video was met with a reaction from Liverpool fans, who laughed at the 26-year-old's skillful feet.

Since the game against Leeds United in matchday 31, where he remained on the bench, El Guajiro began to play a greater role in Klopp's scheme, and even made his presence felt in the game against Spurs, closing the campaign with four goals in 11 starts. Last October, he suffered a knee injury that kept him off the pitch for several months.

Luis Díaz gives a nod to Núñez, Gakpo and Jota

With this pace, Diaz sends a strong message to his teammates in attack, that leaving aside the legend Mohamed Salah, who is an undisputed starter, the Colombian would be fighting directly with Jota, Gakpo and Nunez in the starting eleven of The Normal One. Luis and Colombia are now preparing their powder keg to face Germany next Tuesday in Gelsenkirchen.
