In the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, Liverpool were trailing by two goals in the first half and were in a desperate situation, but they came back from the fire to pull off a close comeback against Villarreal and advance to the final. The turning point of the match was the decisive substitution made by "Reds" manager Jurgen Klopp at the beginning of the second half, who sent in Colombian winger Luis Díaz, who lived up to his reputation and played a key role in the attack, not only scoring a goal to equalize the score, but also being named the best player of the match after the match.
Although Luis Diaz only played 45 minutes of the second half, he still had an eye-catching performance, with 36 touches, 20 passes, 18 of which found his teammates with precision, and four attempts at goal, which he managed to score a goal, as well as four breakthroughs through the opponent's defense and five fierce confrontations with the opponent on the ground, eventually prevailing four times.
The UEFA Technical Observer Mission felt that Luis Dias had a huge impact on the trend of the game, constantly creating a threat, and therefore awarded him the honor of Player of the Match.
Luis Diaz, who moved to Liverpool from Porto at the end of January at the age of 25, had his first taste of a UEFA final and was so emotional after the match that he could not help but burst into tears.
