Luis Diaz is going through an unusual scoring drought at Bayern Munich, but the Colombian forward insists his confidence and desire to improve have not changed.
Key Points
- Luis Diaz is on a four-game Bundesliga goal drought for Bayern Munich.
- After scoring 26 goals last season, he has found the net once in his first six appearances this term.
- Diaz insists his motivation and work ethic remain unchanged despite the slow start.
- Union Berlin offers Diaz a chance to rediscover his scoring touch, having previously scored his 2025 Goal of the Year against them.
Bayern's Dynamo Searches for His Scoring Touch
Diaz enjoyed a standout first season with Bayern Munich, scoring 26 goals and providing 23 assists in 51 appearances. However, the 29-year-old has made a quieter start to the 2026-27 season, scoring just once in his first six appearances.
His drought has now stretched to four consecutive games without a goal, putting greater focus on the Colombian's finishing as he looks to regain his best form.
Diaz Insists His Hunger Has Not Changed
Despite the difficult run, Diaz insists his motivation remains as strong as ever. Speaking to Sky Germany, he said the desire to improve and score more goals “will never be missing” from his mentality.
Diaz added that even when he is not playing well or finding the net, he will continue to give everything for the team, promising to give “101 percent” on the pitch. He believes the goals will eventually come if he continues working.
The Mental Battle for Top Form
Diaz also recognises the importance of staying calm while trying to end his drought. Rather than allowing the lack of goals to affect him, the Bayern forward believes his overall game is still in place and that finishing is the main area he needs to improve.
“I’m looking for my best version and I’ll find it soon,” Diaz said, adding that he believes the goal could come in his next game. He also stressed the need to remain mentally strong, keep working and improve his finishing.
Union Berlin Offers Diaz a Familiar Opportunity
The next challenge against 1. FC Union Berlin could provide an interesting opportunity for Diaz to rediscover his scoring touch. He scored a spectacular goal against Union last season that was later voted Germany's 2025 Goal of the Year.
Diaz described the strike as one of the best goals of his career, recalling how it reminded him of playing football in the streets as a child. The memory could provide an extra source of confidence as he looks to end his current drought.
The Road Ahead for Bayern's Attacking Spearhead
With Bayern Munich preparing for their next fixture at the Allianz Arena, Luis Diaz will be looking to turn his positive mindset into goals. After a prolific first season, the Colombian now has the chance to regain his scoring touch and get his 2026-27 campaign back on track.
