Luis Díaz experienced the full spectrum of football in a single night. The Colombian star started the match like a superhero, scoring twice and giving Bayern Munich complete control over Paris Saint-Germain. His energy, confidence, and celebrations painted the picture of a man carrying his team toward a huge Champions League victory.
But in football, everything can change in a heartbeat.
Just before halftime, Díaz threw himself into a reckless challenge on Achraf Hakimi — a two-footed tackle that immediately caught the attention of VAR. Moments later, the referee flashed a straight red card. Bayern went from celebrating their star… to watching him walk off the pitch in disbelief.
With ten men, Bayern were forced to survive wave after wave of PSG attacks.
They held on, but the match became dramatically harder because of the foul.
Díaz’s night became the perfect example of football’s irony:
one moment you’re the hero… and the next, you’re the reason your team is in danger.
