Luis Diaz’s Astonishing Liverpool Dream Five-a-Side Lineup Leaves Fans Speechless
Fans were left in disbelief when Luis Diaz, Liverpool’s January 2022 signing from Porto for a reported initial fee of £37.5 million, revealed his all-time Liverpool five-a-side dream team in a recent TikTok video. Since his arrival, Diaz has proven himself as one of Jurgen Klopp’s key players, netting 14 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions.
In the video, Diaz’s dream team consisted of Alisson Becker as the goalkeeper, Virgil van Dijk in defense, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard in midfield, Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri, and club icon Kenny Dalglish. However, it was the inclusion of Shaqiri that left fans scratching their heads.
One Liverpool supporter commented, “Shaq was such a strange player. I’ll always love him because he had that magic in him, but he just can’t replicate it anywhere but his national team.” Another fan added, “Talk about an unexpected shout,” while a third quipped, “Didn’t see that coming.”
Someone else humorously noted, “Shaqiri but not Salah, hahaha,” and a fifth said, “Xherdan Shaqiri is in Luis Diaz’s Liverpool all-time 5-a-side team. Interesting.”
In recent weeks, Diaz made headlines after having a goal incorrectly disallowed by VAR during Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Following the controversial decision, the PGMOL released VAR audio from the incident, prompting Reds’ boss Klopp to suggest that the match should be replayed due to the VAR mishap.
Looking ahead, Diaz and Liverpool will return to Premier League action this weekend, facing Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon. The world of football remains captivated by the choices Diaz made in his Liverpool dream team, sparking conversations and debates among fans, adding an unexpected twist to his Liverpool journey.
