New Signing Pays Emotional Tribute to Late Teammate After Match-Winning Goal
Harry Kane welcomed Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich in style on Saturday, praising the Colombian winger’s electric debut after his goal sealed a 2-1 German Super Cup victory over Stuttgart.
Kane opened the scoring in the season’s traditional curtain-raiser, but it was Díaz—signed from Liverpool in a deal worth up to €75 million—who stole the show with a clinical second-half strike. The 27-year-old celebrated by mimicking Diogo Jota’s signature video game tribute, honoring his former teammate who tragically passed away in July.
“Perfect Start” for Díaz
“You can see what he brings—he’s sharp, agile, and that 1v1 threat is huge,” Kane told reporters. “Scoring in your first competitive game for a new club is special, and for it to be the winner? That’s the perfect start.”
Diaz’s emotional celebration resonated beyond the pitch. “The whole football world comes together in moments like this,” Kane said. “It was a beautiful tribute to Diogo and his family. The more we show love, the better.”
Title Charge Begins
With the Bundesliga season kicking off Friday against RB Leipzig, Bayern’s new-look attack already looks dangerous. Kane, who netted his 45th goal in just 44 games for the club, believes Díaz can be a game-changer: “Wingers need to chip in with 15-20 goals a season—he’s got that in him.”
For now, the Bavarians will savor a winning start—and a poignant moment that reminded football of its power to unite.
